The International Cessna^® 170 Association

Yes Miles, I stand corrected. Thinking about it Pederson was his name. I write this from Hong Kong and the logs are in Niagara Falls so I can't reference the books.
The owners have taken care of the plane well. I met Mr Golbert, a previous owner, by chance when I picked up the aircraft in Manitoba. He told me to the minute how long it took to polish it! I bought her for my retirement enjoyment, polishing included.

John, a captain with Canadian Pacific airlines (which merged with Pacific Western airlines to become Canadian Airlines) passed away this past spring in Vancouver. I believe we announced his passing at our annual convention Bardstown.

Thanks Jim, sorry to hear that. If it was announced at Bardstown, I missed it. John isn't mentioned in the minutes of the Memebership Meeting with others we lost in the last year. I found an obituary that says he passed away July 2, just a couple of weeks before the Convention.

It's that time of year again. The 180 is out of the water & going into the hangar for winter storage. Snow is in the forecast & the skis will soon be going on the 170.

That sure is a fine-looking dog!

Arash, you fly too much!

I noticed that red plane appears to s t r e t c h when photographed. Must be due to the speed!

Richard Dach and I went out for breakfast yesterday. He doesnt have many pictures of his airplane in flight so I fired up the POV's to get a few of these.Caution: "Objects are closer then they may appear!"

I thought I would share a couple photos of my bird.

Do you drink beer then surf the 170 forum boards? This was posted a while ago....lol

Ha! Sometimes I don't visit each topic during a visit, but may come back to visit it at a later date. This one about photos is down the list for me since I primarily look for posts about mx issues in efforts to help.

Lunch with friends at the Olds River Inn, Kodiak, AK. Love being able to just land on the road!



Camping with the wife and dogs on a river bar.

A little fun a few day ago. Doesn't bode too well for the red/green debate...
