I flew on one of the Wright Airlines Sunday excursions as well. 25 or 30 minutes around the city from BKL. I thought it was a 440 at the time I flew, guessing 1973-1974. I wish I had photos of that one!

Great pic! I flew one of those (or was it a 440?) on an excursion flight around Cleveland, probably around 1975.
