    The Fairchild 71 was an American high-wing monoplane passenger and cargo aircraft built by Fairchild Aircraft and later built in Canada by Fairchild Aircraft Ltd. (Canada) for both military and civilian use as a rugged bush plane.

    Design and development

    The Fairchild Aircraft Company undertook a progressive development of the Fairchild FC-2W2 light transport. Its first improvement was the FC-2, whose several improvements included:

  • Slightly swept-back wings;
  • Wingspan increased to 50 feet;
  • Engine power nearly doubled;
  • Interior changes to improve passenger comfort.
  • The FC-2 first flew in 1926.

    The FC-2W was a further development, featuring:

  • Camera bay for vertical aerial photography;
  • Low-cut aft windows for oblique aerial photography.
  • The FC-2 and FC-2W continued the use of fabric-covered welded steel tubing for fuselage and empennage construction, and strut-braced wooden-structure fabric-covered wings.

    The FC-2W, later known as the Model 71, was built in the United States between 1928 and 1930. In 1929 Fairchild formed a company in Canada (Fairchild Aircraft Limited) at Longueuil, Quebec in 1929 to support the Canadian operators of Fairchild aircraft. The Canadian company also set up a factory production line for the Model 71, developing a variant for the Canadian military. The Canadian-built aircraft differed from the US version in that all the passenger-comfort features were removed, and the craft were built specifically for aerial photography.

    Sunshine State

    by: Jj Mccoy

    Key of E, No Capo
    Verse 1
    Ridin' shot gun in a hummer
    But this one is dark green
    It ain't covered in chrome
    With the radio on like the ones
    We have back home
    We're dodgin' suicide bombers
    That are ready to die, skys lit up
    Like the fourth of July
    Man I'd give anything to be back in the USA
    CHORUS
    Like in Panama City 'round spring break
    Down in Okeechobee maybe out on the lake
    Walkin' Duval Street with a margarita in my hand
    At the ol' mud hole makin' lots of noise
    Or in Ybor City hangin' out with the boys
    Man I tell y'all it sure would be great
    If I could just get back home to the Sunshine State
    Verse 2
    I got sand in my eyes and sand in my shoes
    Everybody here's got the home sick blues
    Sent Billy and Jimmy home in a box last night
    Well my bunk mate Andy grew up on a farm
    Just last week he lost his right arm
    Now he cries him self to sleep most every night
    We work sixteen hours sleep about two, spend the
    Rest of the day wonderin' how to get through
    Man I'd give anything to be back on friendly ground
    CHORUS
    Like in Panama City 'round spring break
    Down in Okeechobee maybe out on the lake
    Walkin' Duval Street with a margarita in my hand
    At the ol' mud hole makin' lots of noise
    Or in Ybor City hangin' out with the boys
    Man I tell y'all it sure would be great
    If I could just get back home to the Sunshine State
    Bridge
    Found this letter in a pocket of a soldier I lost
    He was a hell of a fighter and he paid the cost
    Think you'll find everything you'll need here in what I read
    You'll know exactly where he'd want these ashes spread
    Like in Panama City 'round spring break
    Down in Okeechobee maybe out on the lake
    Walkin Duval Street with a margarita in your hand
    At the ol' mud hole makin' lots of noise
    Or in Ybor City hangin' out with the boys
    Man this soldier I'm talkin' 'bout sure was great
    Glad he finally made it home to the Sunshine State
