BTW, what is that black tail I see in background? P-39?

The black tail looks early Piper? A guess, just going by the flat topped fuselage.

I don’t recall exactly, it wasn’t a P-39…I would have noticed that. Not a Piper or Cessna 170 or O-1 with its tail up for service.

Judging by its tail high-stance, a tricycle gear Yak or Chinese copy. There are plenty around here.
