They arrived today wrapped in brown paper that had been torn halfway off, but the magazines weren't damaged and they are in better condition than my issues from the late 1980s, and were all addressed to Tom Schad (#2210) of Del Rio, TX. I'm a sucker for old magazines, and have virtually every EAA Sport Aviation from 1968 onward, as well as a ton of issues of Plane & Pilot, AOPA Pilot, Flying, and various others that I've hoarded over the years. There are some really cool articles and it is crazy seeing names in there that I recognize from well before I was born. I'll try to scan some pages soon, but there are some good pictures in there of a very young Miles Bowen, as well as Ed Booth, and others. Many pictures from these magazines have made their way to the 170 Book, but it's still really cool to see it all.
Just thought I would share. If anyone has extra copies of old 170 News or knows where there may be some to be had, I'd be very interested. I've got a decent collection now spanning four decades sporadically, so it would be nice to fill in some holes.
