scott,
lr-24...we had a couple of old 23's..even serial number's 009 and 016, but both had had fuel systems updated to model 24 specs (23's had 7 electric fuel pumps). ck stands for 'connie kalitta'..his son doug owns kalitta motorsports and races top fuel dragsters. yep, i was a freight dog for some years before moving into air-ambo work in lr-25's, 35's and a 36xr. seeing your pic brought back memories. i miss it sometimes..once you leave it, i'm sure as you know, you lose your currency and everything else. you're only as good as your last flight hour. i instructed for some years prior to that and every once in a while will drive out to the little local airport and consider that again..but i usually don't get out of the car..i just watch from afar for a little while..
