Can anyone ID this aircraft?
Posted by CN Spots on Monday, July 20, 2015 4:42 PM

Stumbled across this image today and I can't figure out what kind of plane this is.  The rudder looks like a Spartan C3 but I don't think that's it.  Any ideas?

Best guess, open spoke wheels on your image notwithstanding, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fleet_Model_1

That's the closest thing I've seen yet.  The cockpit and wheels are a bit different but those may be modifications made by the flight school.

Thanks!

edit:  just read the early cockpits were open tandem.  This is the bird!

I'd agree on the Fleet- and the comments of CN Spots.
