No, sorry. I pulled those of my parents computer, and of course Im not smart enough to take my camera anywhere. Jody might have some pictures of the event, but he is usually so busy running around I dont know if he ever takes any pictures or not.

Nathan,

That is a "reverse version" of an original Sedan paint scheme.

Gareth Gilson's Sedan. In his family since new, and exactly as it looked the day Aeronca delivered it.

Aeronca painted the base coat red with a creme highlights and the Champ you like has a base of creme with red or maroon highlights.

I like both of them!

Joe

You are right. Hard to take pics when you are 10 places at once. Post away.
Nate, that recently restored champ belongs to Terry Bolger. It is at Big Foot, WI. just north and east of Poplar Grove, IL.
