3 people, with clipped wings - the owner claimed it was an incredible

I looked into a Pawnee as a run-about a while back. You can get them
pretty cheap. I even found a place in IN (maybe Michigan, now that I

I love the Pawnees - they're fun to fly, but forgiving. All those crop dusters are built so you can still land them after spending 12 hours
in the air...
