I learned to fly in "72 Echo". At the time it was owned by the University of Illinois Institute of Aviation (Savoy, Illinois). Jesse Stonecipher was the Administrator.
My first flight was 1/11/60, soloed 3/10/60, passed FAA check ride (Private Pilot) 5/25/60.
My instructor was Frank Meyer (#1444562) a former Navy P2V Pilot before joining the University of Illinois staff.
I recall "72 Echo" as an honest and very forgiving airplane. For someone with my flying skills, it had to be. Frank Meyer was a bit less forgiving and that was probably a good thing too.
I still have warm memories of the hours spent in that wonderful airplane so many years ago. Happy to find it's still in service. That it survived so many hours of student training at the U of I is testimony to its durability.
