Salmon mania

[Dean Romig]

I was told it was a '38 Howard... whatever that is...

Google: Howard Aircraft Corporation

There's even a picture of this plane in the album of Howard photos.
I wonder if it has any connection to Howard Hughes?

This is a Sockeye(Red)hen. Relatively quickly after the salmon hit fresh water they begin the transformation. After the hens have dropped their eggs, males and females quickly move to this stage and become more and more lethargic. Until they ultimately die or are eaten by bears, eagles, etc.
The bears move from rivers that hold no more salmon to others that have later runs. Soon this is all that is left to show that any where there at all.

Hi Richard, The registration number indicates it was registered after 3-22-1927 and before 12-31-1948. The N means it is a USA registered airplane and the C means it is a standard category airplane. I believe it is a Howard but I was unable to trace the registration number. I could not find a way to trace the NC portion of the number. I'll call someone tomorrow and find out for you.
Cheers, Tom

Would the fact that is says "Howard" on the tail be a hint?
