The L-16 Grasshopper is the militarized version of the Aeronca Champ and was used extensively in the Korean and Vietnam wars as an observation/liaison aircraft. Trevor Edie is a qualified fight instructor in the L-16 and he gives us a brief history of the airplane as well as what it is like to fly the Grasshopper.
If you'd like to learn more about the aircraft and potentially join the flying club that operates the L-16 visit:
