Bill Crawford submitted these photos and a note: “The 1948 Ryan Navion L-17B known as the ‘Princess Vantage’ shows off her shiny underside somewhere over southwestern Ohio on a gorgeous day.”
Owner/historical custodian, restorer, maintainer, pilot/operator Bill Crawford adds: “The real live princess characterized in the airplane’s nose art is my wife Susan, my number one and most frequent passenger the past 23 years. I’ve owned and operated this aircraft for 30 years and have over 1,100 hrs PIC at her controls.”
