Information
Aeronca L-16 (Green Version)
Light Military Liaison Aircraft – Korean War
The Aeronca L-16 is a light observation and liaison aircraft developed from the civilian Aeronca Champion and adapted for military use by the U.S. Army in the late 1940s. It was widely employed during the Korean War for reconnaissance, liaison, light transport, and medical evacuation missions.
The aircraft presented here is painted in military olive green, true to the colors used during that era. Compact, agile, and reliable, the Aeronca L-16 played a crucial support role for ground operations.
For full historical immersion, the pilot and crew will be dressed in authentic 1950s U.S. Army uniforms, recreating the atmosphere of aerial missions from the Korean conflict.
