November 4219 Charlie was the 1948 Stinson model 108-3 that I learned in. My father bought it when I was in 7th grade and sold it when I was in college. I loved that old girl.
And here she is, thanks to the interweb.
She was originally almost all fabric but was metalized before dad bought her. She also had leading edge slats added to increase maneuverability at or near stall speeds.

Also, while researching the above post, I came across a piece of information I'd not previously been aware of.
In 1958-59, Robert Timm and John Cook set a world record which still stands. They flew a Cessna 172, non-stop, for 64 days.
Food, water, and fuel were taken aboard periodically by grabbing them from the back of a truck while flying low over it. The oil system was re-plumbed through the firewall so that oil and filters could be changed while the engine was still running.
Sixty-four DAYS in a Cessna.

It's the only "Xmas movie" I can watch without feeling nauseous or like there's a "bazillion things" better I could be doing with my time.
If Samuel L Jackson had played the main character, he would have said:
- rather than "Welcome to the party Pal!" (and added a "MF" at the end - they probably had to edit that out of the Star Wars clip above "being a Disney film and all").
