Better yet, identify it by sight!

It's Elon Musk's Canadian grandfather and grandmother standing beside their plane!

I recognized it on sight because it was such an unusual plane with that particular unusual brand engine cylinder valve cover shape!

Winner! Good eye!

More popularly known as the Bellanca Cruiseair Senior.

I noticed it was different from the rest of the Bellanca 14 series from the open cowling showing a Franklin engine.

One of the most sporty, fun single engine airplanes is the Bellanca Super Viking. 300 HP of Lycoming's finest bolted to a short wooden winged fabric covered airplane. Rolls like a Pitts. Well... not really... but still. (Or so I've heard )

And yes, real pilots fly taildraggers!
