keys

[Bill Hart]

It was 6 years ago a good friend of mine passed away very unexpectedly. He owned a 69 model 172 and had 3 such keys for it. His mom asked if I would help her with his estate and of course I did. Long story short his keys worked perfectly in my 170 so I kept the Cessna keys and sold his airplane with my generic keys. Some might think this to be dishonest but I think of my good friend every time I use “his” keys.

One of the surprising things is that many aircraft keys fit other aircraft at a very high rate.
If you have a key that doesn't fit.... call your locksmith and have him change the lock tumblers to fit your key!

Well, by the time I got home a few times and forgot to retrieve the keys for mailing...and then the convention...then another forgetful trip...I finally got the keys in my hands and same-day got word from Bob that he'd already found a key elsewhere.
So...

...But now I am back in Dallas and ready to strap on the Extra 300 for 10 sorties at work this week. I know, it is a hard life but someone has to do it.

...if you still need a Cessna key...and want to meet up (or send me your address....)
my sched the rest of this week is late nite, unfortunately. What are you doing in the daylite hours?

Meanwhile, this last week I stopped by the local locksmith in Marble Falls and was informed they have a supply of the keys and they sell them for $4.50 ea...which I find ridiculous. (Maybe that is if they cut them, tho')
