I got my MES in it a little over a year ago while my sons were getting their SES in the school's Husky. Fun few days of flying and highly recommended. Andy

Attachment: 164205DB-15F1-45CC-8AD5-99658958DA4A.jpeg Way cool idea and thanks for the photo MT! I’m almost ready to depart aviation for good, and do something else. My Widgeon, N78X, could be bought for $295,000 if you know of anyone interested. Based near Raleigh, NC. If I can’t get my price I plan on keeping the airplane - it is lien free. email: nck3500@gmail.comJimmy

I used to own a beautiful Ranger powered Widgeon. We spent 8 years restoring it. I sure wish I still owned it. Greatest airplane I have ever owned. Dad had one, uncle had one, cousin still has one.
