Built in 1939 as NC61, one of eight WACO AGC-8s for the American CAA. Subsequently converted to an EGC-8 following the installation of a Wright R760E, replacing the original Jacobs LCMB engine. Sold and registered as N69607 c1945 and became N61KS in 1970. The aircraft underwent restoration between 2007 and 2010 by Raven Aero Service in Junction City, Kansas and now flies in colours similar to that of its original operator. Seen arriving at Blakesburg from its current home in Kentucky. This photo is copyright © Tim Spearman, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
