A Throw Back Thursday Picture A Day Late

From Rockford I believe. Not sure what year, maybe 65?

Is that Ray Hegy's La Chuparosa? I remember seeing it there in.....wait for it.... 1962! I was in grade school at the time :-)

Thanks for the memories!

It would be Chuparosa! My older brother took the shot. I never got to Rockford. Mom & Dad used to go. But I started going to Oshkosh when it moved there in 1970. I remember seeing Chuparosa every year for a long time. We always laughed at the "german" saying on the wing. Nocting der footin puttin. Or something like that. It proudly sits in EAA's museum now.
