THREE GENERATIONS OF
ERCOUPE PILOTS
THREE GENERATIONS OF CAMPBELLS have learned to
fly in Ercoupes. Grandfather Dan Campbell, EAA
1024664, first received his private pilot certificate
in Utah in 1946. He didn’t fly again for 63 years,
but passed a flight review in 2009 just before his
80th birthday. Both Dan’s 51-year-old son, John,
EAA 1032970, and his 23-year-old grandson,
Brad, are private pilots. Brad is studying aviation
at Utah Valley University, hoping to work for an
airline someday. Two other grandsons, Brendan,
18, and Braden, 16, are working toward their
pilot certificates, and both hope to have aviation
careers as well. They all fly Ercoupe N94798
based in Long Beach, California.
