I have the original print that was given to me by the pilot of Sunsetter Vic Erickson.
Vic was from my home town of Aitkin Minnesota and a great friend of the family.
My mother had baby sat Vic and we lived across the driveway from his folks. I also have a Picture of Vic that he sent me standing by Sunsetter after is was restored and put into the museum.
My biggest thrill was Vic taking me up in his J3 Cub that he restored and his Piper Cherokee back in the early 1980's.

Hi there. I have just discovered your website. I'm learning the process of digital colorization of black and white photos. I took a liking to this photo so I did a colorization attempt. I think it turned out ok. Here is the link if you'd like to see:
