I've been asked about my 1946 Bellanca Cruisair, so here are the two pictures I have of it, scanned off of prints. What a great flying airplane, Aeromatic prop and all. Had a Franklin 6A4-165B3. Usually got 135 mph indicated at 3500' at 2450 RPM, burning about 9.5 GPH block. Came down like a rock with full 46 degrees of flap. Very nice low-speed manners, as usual for the low-wing Bellancas.
I was about 30 when these were taken at the Palomar airport, KCRQ in 1980.

Finally, after several attempts, here are the pictures.
