CHECKING OUT A VINTAGE ERCO ERCOUPE AIRCRAFT Planes have evolved significantly over the years, and understanding vintage aircraft provides a fascinating glimpse into the future of aviation. One aircraft that recently caught my attention at the DPR-PATS campus is the vintage ERCO Ercoupe, manufactured in the 1940s. So, how did planes look during that time? I am thrilled to have had the opportunity to get up close to the Ercoupe, conduct a walk-around, and even start the plane and run its engine!

Welcome to Warbird Wednesday! Today we continue down the path of light aircraft with the Erco Ercoupe. This aircraft was designed by Fred Weick and first flown in 1937. It was initially manufactured by the Engineering and Research Corporation shortly before World War II; several other manufacturers continued its production after the war.
