"Miss Belle" is a rare example of a 1958 flying C1-A "Trader" that took 10 years of dedicated restoration efforts. She had a 30 year career in the US Navy traveling the globe, amassing nearly 16, 000 Flying Hours with over 800 arrested landings and 190 carrier catapult launches. C1-A Traders were used throughout the 1960s and 1970s carrying mail and supplies to aircraft carriers on station in the Pacific Ocean during the Vietnam War, and also served as a trainer for all-weather carrier operations. Acquired in 1999 by Doug Goss (Chief Pilot) and Richard Cronn, this C1-A brings back memories for Vietnam era Navy Veterans and shows the magic of her enormous folding wings. "Miss Belle" comes to us from Trader Air, Inc. located in Topeka KS. Max weight: 24, 500 lb. Max speed: 345 mph.
