highroad  > Airplanes > Aircraft I Have Met
This is a collection of photos of every type of aircraft I've ever taken, or at least every one I can lay my hands on. I admit, some of the scans were pretty bad, the photos themselves suffering from being 30 years old and/or printed on textured paper, or due to the fact that I used to process my own black-and-white negatives and wasn't very accurate. My goal is to replace or add to the scanned photos with new digital images of the same type aircraft someday. I've tried to be as complete as possible with the aircraft model numbers, and manufacture or order dates (where available) are in brackets afterwards to give you a general idea of their age. Aircraft serial numbers, bureau numbers, N-numbers, etc. (if known) come after the dates. Aircraft names in quotation marks are the unofficial nicknames given to the planes by the pilots who flew them, not the official names given to them by their manufacturers.

Okay, it's time to take off and get on with the show. Happy Landings!

Piper PA-12 Super Cruiser [1947] N4223M
Casparis Airport, Alpine, Texas - January 2009
Piper PA-12 Super Cruiser [1947] N3557M
Long Pond, Mount Desert, Maine - August 2006
Piper J-4A Cub Coupe [1939]
Casparis Airport, Alpine, Texas - November 2012

The Piper J-4 Cub Coupe is a two place side-by-side version of the Piper J-3 that was built between 1938 and 1942. It was Piper's first model with side-by-side seating.
Piper PA-20 Pacer [1950] N7066K
Santa Paula Airport, Santa Paula, California - September 1974
Piper PA-20 Pacer [1950] N7357K
Santa Paula Airport, Santa Paula, California - early 1970s

This is the same year model as the one it the previous photo, but an updated version with drooped wingtips.
Piper PA-22-108 Colt [1961] N4885Z
Grand Prairie Airport, Grand Prairie, Texas - November 1976
Piper PA-22-150 Tri-Pacer [1956] N4778A
Santa Paula Airport, Santa Paula, California - November 1975

This is the type aircraft I took my first airplane ride in. Even in my ignorance of all things airplane-oriented at that time, I found the brake bar particularly curious.

Because of its long, 3-legged stance, the Tri-Pacer is often referred to as the "Flying Milkstool".
Piper PA 22-150 Tri-Pacer [1956] N5818D
Pecos County Airport, Fort Stockton, Texas - April 2011
Piper PA 22-150 Tri-Pacer [1956] N7043B
Pecos County Airport, Fort Stockton, Texas - April 2011

The owner of this aircraft has added modern drooped wingtips for better lift. A stock Tri-Pacer with its stubby little wings does have a tendency to sink in engine-off conditions.
