    RR, 78V was also a C196. 4-5 C195,s were converted in mid 50,s by PFS for high altitude aerial mapping. Flew down to Z-Hills spring of 72, w/ friend made a few jumps out of 10E & C196. As I recall maybe only time there were 3 C196,s on airport. 95N, 78V, and C196 w/tip tanks which I believe is currently owned by guy whose father was the airport mgr then-Porter? Picture of 78V by JW looks suspicously like airplane when I arrived in Z-Hills after taking the paint off leading edges in a TS inbound to the Hills..SS

    I, SS89, purchased the 196 from Frank Youngquist out of Rainbow and operated for a couple years Badger Skydivers based at Waunakee , Wi 7 mi NW MSN. 2300' 1/2 Paved 1/2 Grass Airport. By 2nd year of operation were getting fairly consistent 8-Mans. Flew 8th on a couple and not a great spot in airplane, fortunately only 10 min ride to altitude. Went to work for Feds in 74' ended up gypsying airplane around MSP DZ,s for year. Leased to PI . Airplane destoyed in landing accident. SS
