The International Cessna^® 170 Association

My dad went to a gathering at Mansfield, LA today and saw a nice 170 but didn't get the N number. Was it you?

Too bad he couldn't get that Tail#? As far as I know, at least in the Association Membership, we don't have any members north of here. We live on Toledo Bend just south of Zwolle. I haven't heard of any of our members in transit right now.

If either you or your dad are ever in this area I would love for you to stop by and chat, join us for some refreshments or stay for a while Ours is the house at the end of the strip, 5LS9, with the C150 in the front yard.

That is so cool you have a C-150 lawn ornament.

Actually I was wondering what George was using to decoy the mud daubers away from his 170.

Ol Gar - nice new avatar you've found. I can't wait to hear you pickin' an a grinnin' around the campfire singing that song!

Ol Gar, your house is on the way to Reklaw. I'll wave at you!

Well...anyone who recalls the "wasp" trap I purchased at Home Depot....will not be impressed with my followup report.
I returned it. In three months...it caught one spider. That's it.


Yet my hangar is full of the little buggers, (wasps of all varieties AND daubers), happily buzzing away building mud nests.
(I think the recent, heavy rains in TX has supplied them with lots of building material. Fortunately, I've only found one, in my left wing at a convenient inspection plate near the flap bellcrank. I'd certainly like to find a good deterrent.)

MEEBEE FUR SUM CASH N LOTSA ST PAWLY GURL AN SHINER AN SAM ADAMS AN NEGRO MODESTO AN DOSXX - I CUD BE PURSWADED TO BRING OLE '07E OUT THAR AN PARKIT SOS THEM DOBBERSD LEEVE URE LONELY OLE WUSSY 146YS ALONE. BUT THEY MITES BE SUPERIER DOBBERS AN NOT LAK REELY FAST AND PURTY GREEN PLANES TU GUD. SO THEYSA MITE KEEP ON HAULIN MUD INTA URE WINGS.

The things about 07E (Ol'Gar's C-175 that has not moved in the 10 years I've known him) that I agree with is that it's GREEN and it's FAST-asleep!
