Anybody know who this is?

[Les McDonald]

 Someone sent this to me and I don't have a clue but--------
I told him "I know people" so maybe I can find out through you guys.
Looks like Florida in the sixties, that's the best I can do.

Looks like Bob Whitley.  If it is, he probably thought it was a glider until someone told him he could put an engine in it.  Changed his whole world!

No, it's Ron Swanson from TV show "Parks and Rec," holding a very rare I-beam FAI towline glider.

Deff not a glider,  it is an I-Beam Stunter, big front end missing the spinner

'Charles', maybe?

The red Ranchero or El Camino out front and the '65 or so Chev in the driveway, plus sideburns and mustache, put this right around 1970. So whoever that is, he's 44 years older now. Could be nearly any of us on this forum. Houses look very California ranch style so I'm going with a California model builder.

'Charles', maybe?

Could be...the airplane is unfinished & probably never was.
