This is a hard one to identify. I have always called it the Humphreys MG-2 because he has the emblem "Humphreys Special" on the tail. It was registered to the Humphreys Aircraft Corporation of LaCrescenta, CA, as the Falcon MG-2, however it was built as the Melberg-Greenemeyer MG-2, thus the "MG". See the story in Sport Flying for Feb 1970. This photo was taken when it was operating as part of the "Tex Rankin's Hollywood Aces" airshow team. This photo is copyright © William T.
