This photograph showcases the sleek and elegant Volmer-Jensen VJ-22 Sportsman, registration number N7902C, nicknamed "Churabasco." The image, captured circa 1959, presents the aircraft in pristine condition, standing proudly against a backdrop of a clear blue sky. The VJ-22 Sportsman, designed by Volmer Jensen, was a two-seat, high-wing, all-metal, homebuilt aircraft, popular among aviation enthusiasts for its exceptional performance and distinctive appearance. The aircraft's streamlined wings and tail, coupled with its rounded canopy, give it an aerodynamic and dynamic look. The engine, a Continental O-200-A, is visible through the open cowling, adding to the machine's raw power and sophistication. The cockpit is adorned with a simple yet functional instrument panel, and the seats are snugly fitted with harnesses, ready for takeoff. The Volmer-Jensen VJ-22 Sportsman was a favorite among pilots who appreciated the thrill of building and flying their own aircraft. The aircraft's versatility, combined with its impressive speed and range, made it an ideal choice for cross-country flights and local soaring. This photograph captures the essence of a bygone era in aviation history, when the joy of flying was a more personal and hands-on experience. The Volmer-Jensen VJ-22 Sportsman, N7902C "Churabasco," remains a cherished symbol of the golden age of aviation and a testament to the ingenuity and passion of its creators and pilots.
