I was feeling a bit off yesterday, so I canceled some plans and just rested. I did make a trip to the range and got in a little more practice, but other than that and cleaning my bathroom (which was approaching "biohazard" status), I did bupkis and I got in a 3-hr nap.
The weather was awful, anyway. Lots of low clouds and foggy until almost noon yesterday. A few airports in the Northeast had Fall fly-ins Saturday that were probably trashed by the weather.
After really sleeping in today, I went flying. There is a bit of a breeze around here, so it was a bit bumpy. Great visibility, but bumpy enough that I left my camera in the flight bag, so no aerial shots today. There were a couple of nice Pitts Specials at the airport restaurant's ramp. I think they were both S-1s, which are single-seaters. A really pretty Stinson 108-3 taxied by as I was doing my pre-flight and I saw a gorgeous looking Cessna 170B.
This is a Pitts, not the one I saw.
This is a Cessna 170:
One of these days, I need to take my Vaquero to the range. It's fun to shoot, even with the 19th Century sights.

Hello Froggy,
I was wondering if the picture of the 170 is one that you took or where you got it from. I would like to get permission, from whoever owns it, to use it on a business card. Let me know asap please.
Thanks

I found it with Google Images, I don't recall where it comes from.
Run "Cessna 170" as a search; I suspect it's a promo photo from Cessna.
