Cessna 185B Skywagon N2517Z                          (c/n  185-0517)

                                  

                                        The Skywagon II had the ability to carry a detachable glassfibre Cargo-Pack capable of carrying
                                        some 300 lbs.   This 185B seen here at Santa Monica Municipal Airport (formerly known as Clover
                                        Field) in August of 1963 is sporting such a panier container.  I am not sure what the reference to
                                        "Zulu - Los Angeles" was, or why it was carrying the flags of 31 nations.
