1942 Taylorcraft DC-65Single-Engine Piston Aircraft • Chesapeake, VA, USA
This 1942 Taylorcraft DC-65, registration N36418, is an antique/classic single-engine piston aircraft with a rich wartime history, having served as a glider pilot trainer during World War II after being delivered new to a Texas flight school and later purchased by the US Government. The airframe has accumulated 3,275 total hours since new, with only 565 hours since a complete rebuild completed in October 2000.
