N22NA, owned by Bill Leff.

The wings aren't really clipped, they just have the wing tips removed and plates to hold Bill's pyrotechnics for his night airshow routine attached. The span of the wings, ailerons, etc are full length with the exception of the tips.

I guess that was 2 years ago when Bill lost his engine coming into Fond du Lac and made an amazing landing on the highway.
