I contemplated it, but decided against it. Great shot! Not sure how I feel about it, though.Aryana wrote:He must be operating in the utility category?

Re: Photo Album
That's cool Miles! I wonder what the purpose of the trip was. Did the plane have additional fuel tanks? 6-1/2 and 7.0 hr flights are a bit long for standard tanks. Maybe they didn't record intermediate stops?cessna170bdriver wrote:With the recent talk of GA opening back up in Cuba, I thought I'd brag a little. I've never been there, but '98C has...

One would think there would be more elevator displacement to get to that attitude!

Re: Photo Album
The airplane shows no evidence of ever having more than stock fuel (though there have been times I wish it did), but it's only 100 nm from Key West to Havana, so the flight is by no means a stretch for the 170. This is the aircraft log book, not a pilot log book, so I've always thought that Mr. Horst just logged the full day's flying without logging every landing.hilltop170 wrote:That's cool Miles!

A 1955 trip to Havana for some dancing and gambling... would be a very fun trip!

My uncle and aunt used to belong to a travel club in the 1950s that used a Constellation to fly from San Antonio to Havanna for weekend trips. They had some great stories from those trips.gahorn wrote:A 1955 trip to Havana for some dancing and gambling... would be a very fun trip!

Great pictures, looks like some interesting adventures.
Unusual pitot tube. I have read of it being available, this is my first time seeing one.

Re: Photo Album
Thanks for all of you commenting the photos!
Some answers: the prop is McCauley 7653. The pitot tube is installed in mid 70s, if I remember right.
If you want see more same kind of photos, there is also a longer version (ca. 8 min) of the "photo album" with fellow planes available.

And also an older version of "the best of OH-CSO pictures" from years 2005-2009 is available here:

Have a nice weekend and sunny flying days!
