The
Ryan ST3KR was better known as the PT-22 Recruit. These airplanes have
a distinctive sound when passing overhead because of their 5 cylinder
Kinner radial engines. Because of the sound, they were often called
"Maytag Messershmitts". The PT-22 featured here (N48742) was
made in 1941 and is operated bythe CAF unit based at Cable Airport.
