The Ector Aircraft Company Inc. of Texas began
civilianising ex-military Cessna L-19 Bird Dogs in the early 1980’s. The
aircraft were completely rebuilt and re-designated L-19 Mountaineer. A
small number were converted to L-19 Super Mountaineers by the
installation of a 240hp(179kW) Lycoming. This model had a maximum
take-off weight of 2800lb(1271kg). A few examples of both models remain
active.
