History

N18529 was previously owned by Howard Schwartz, an avid Cardinal flyer, well known among pilots and fans of Cardinal aircraft. Sadly, Howard died in September of 2001. Howard took great care of his plane, and put a lot of work into it. We are fortunate to have acquired such a well-loved airplane.
