Has this been around? 92 year old paper boy, delivering "his" newspapers via an Aeronca Sedan.
A very good human interest story too.

Those old Sedans really are a good looking plane. They came with a C-145 just like the 170.

That is so neat! I wonder if he has any job openings?

Yea, I remember reading about him years ago, he was also a aerial photographer, and had the unique trademark of getting his shadow in all of his photos..
Rest in peace Hal... Ya done good....

I didn't catch the part that he passed away. I am sorry to hear that. A good man.

From the bottom of the article Zane posted....

"Hal Wright passed away in 2000 at age 96. "

Good sky's Hal....What a guy.

Brian.

That was to cool. I wonder if he had a current medical? Not that I give a darn.

In 1955 I flew with Frank Kindel out of Carlsbad N.M. "Flying Paper Boy Of The Guadalupes" He flew and I dropped the papers to remote ranches. It was a Piper PA-12 Cub, registered as N2816M.

Since Kindel's death, a Carlsbad doctor, T. E. Hauser, had taken up his annual chore of dropping papers by plane to hunters in the Guadalupe Mountains. But no one has taken up the every Sunday flight that Kindel used to take each week lo see that area's ranchers.

Good Read.... John

See your getting around
