Great Lakes 2T-1 Sport Trainer N872K (MSN 133): A Thrilling Resurrection of a Historic Aviation Icon This photograph showcases the iconic Great Lakes 2T-1 Sport Trainer, registered as N872K, in its prime during the 1960s era. The 2T-1, manufactured by the Great Lakes Aircraft Corporation, was a versatile and popular training aircraft known for its sleek design and impressive performance. Unfortunately, the history of N872K took an unexpected turn on April 9, 1966, when the aircraft was written off during an impromptu aerobatic display for some campers at a dry lake near Baker, California. The thrill of the moment turned sour as the plane suffered significant damage, leaving many to believe that its days in the sky were numbered. However, the spirit of aviation and the determination of its enthusiasts refused to let this historic aircraft fade away. N872K was meticulously rebuilt and re-registered, allowing it to soar once more through the skies. The photograph captures the essence of the aircraft's second chance at life, showcasing its timeless beauty and the unyielding passion of those who keep the legacy of the Great Lakes 2T-1 Sport Trainer alive. This image is a testament to the enduring allure of flight and the indomitable spirit of aviation enthusiasts, who continue to preserve and celebrate the rich history of aircraft transportation.
