Built in 1952 as Dove 6A registration N1536V then converted to Riley Dove in 1966. On 20 May 1975 it ditched in Lake Michigan after departure from Meigs Field/IL (of Microsoft Flight Simulator Version 1.0 fame) after running out of fuel. A swept fin was a part of the full Riley Turbo Executive 400 conversion, but I think the original, as here on this partial Dove 2 conversion, looks better.
