ERCO Ercoupe (N93880)

Very nice shot! 5* Correct me if I am wrong but if it was a Mooney version of the ERCOUPE, would it not be a single tail?

Dave... this one, according to its FAA registration, is an Ercoupe Model 415-C, s/n 1203, built by ERCO in 1946.

The "Mooney Aircoupe" label might be a Flight Aware glitch.

Cliff is correct.

No, it's not a Mooney. N93880 was my father's plane--so I know this one intimately. We bought it in Key West Florida in 1976. It had been sitting in a back yard covered with a tarp for years. Was the same paint scheme as this, but red and white, and it looked like it had been painted with house paint. I was 9. We stripped to bare metal, drilled out any corroded rivets, and I crawled inside the fuselage, dropped in new rivets, and held a hammer against them while my father set them from the outside. The windshield was not the bubble version pictured here--that was a mod after my father sold it in the late 80s or 90s--though my father always wanted to do that one too. If I remember correctly, it had a continental 75. Yellow zinc primer, followed by Dupont Imron..blue and white with a pinstripe. The tails had murals on it of the plane flying into the sunset over the water with palm trees. After he sold it, it was restored again and upgraded significantly. Also significant, the right fuel tank was an extended range tank...the matching left extra-large tank was the unfortunate victim of a blowtorch expanding the landing gear...what's left of it is still behind the garage to this day. We also built a custom trailer for it and hauled it from Key West N Georgia. It was kept at the Collegedale TN airport for years. to It was a great project, flew beautifully, and my father flew it as far as Brasil and Haiti by island hopping the Caribbean.

I'll add, impossible to stall and you could crab in at extreme angles and it would align itself due to the way the landing gear was designed.
