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,
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteRun "Cessna 170" as a search; I suspect it's a promo photo from Cessna.
