N110SP monocoupe 110 Special

 N110SP started life as a Model 110 (longwing) NC12312 and was sold to Jack Wright of Utica, NY.  Later Jack Wright would sell NC12312 and purchase N501W.

In 1973, NC12312 was owned by Morton Lester of Martinsville, VA and was "remodeled" to a Model 110 Special clipwing.  At that time the registration was change to N110SP.

Here are some pictures of N110SP when owned by Morton Lester (click any image to launch the photo browser):

Many year later, Morton Lester sold the ship to Carey Carson of Utopia, TX.  The ship was destroyed in an accident.

N110SP was rebuilt by Richard Atkins of Ragtime Aero.  Here are some pictures:

Rick would later sell N110SP to Mark Holliday, who still owns it.  Here is a link to a Google Photos album of N110SP.
