Bienvenue au club international 170.
Can you get some of your fellow flyers in France to join the association. Some of us would like to hear the experiences of 170's in other countries.

Hi Jim ,

Are you from France or Quebec ?? Your French is excellent !...

That's due to Mssr McIntosh's Scots-Irish heritage...

On a related matter...... I wonder how many Cessna owners are aware that the founder of our aircraft manufacturer, Clyde Cessna, was a descendant of French settlers? (Cessna is a French name.)
He received his inspiration to mfr airplanes after observing famous French-descendant siblings demonstrate their Bleriot aeroplanes....Mssrs Moisant....after-whom the New Orleans airport was originally named after his tragic and fatal landing there, (and which still carries that identifier MSY, despite it's re-naming after the trumpeteer with the French name -Louis (Armstrong.)
Perhaps Mssr John Moisant's famous quote applies to us all?
"Nine-tenths confidence and one-tenth common sense equals [a] successful aviator."
—John B. Moisant

Welcome Fred! I'm in Raleigh. Probably wouldn't be too hard for us to get together for lunch one day. I occasionally drive to visit my Mother who lives west of you in the mountains. Next time I'm over that way I'll let you know.

Jim , Bruce ,

I have the mail address of the 4 owners registered in France .

3 are situated in the suburb area of Paris and one on the west coast .

I will think, it will be nice to send them first an official letter from the HC association .
I can send the file to Jan via my personal email address.

If you want to prepare the letter in English , i'll be glad to translate it

Let me know how you want to go ahead ,
Fred

Welcome, Fred! I live just across the lake in Denver and keep my airplane at Lincoln County (IPJ). If there's anything I can do to help with your airplane (other than polishing ), please let me know! There's a fly-in this weekend at Miller Airpark in Mooresville (just east of town on 150, if you're not familiar). My wife and I plan to be there in 4410B. My phone number is 423-400-8901. Please fee free to call!
