Life's photos from the Long Island Aviation Club are all dated 1937. For most pictures this is credible, with many of the planes new that year and the F-4 Sea Bird, NX16793, sold as CF-BGZ in September. However, a photo of a blackboard with the club's fleet shows dates up to June 1938, so it seems that Eisenstaedt visited twice. NC17177 was cancelled in July 1938 so we put that as the end date for some of the shots. It was last registered to Leech Aircraft of Westchester Airport, NY, which was a Stinson dealer. The fate of this Reliant is unclear. Photo by: Alfred Eisenstaedt / Life This photo was added on 14 February 2024, and has since been viewed 73 times. |
