Generations of Cessna

I just bought a set of Lord engine mounts for an O-200A from Fresno. The rubbers, along with all other parts in the set, look brand new, not NOS. I’ve never had any problem with anything I’ve bought from Fresno over the years. A number of others at my airport also buy from Fresno and have never tol...

I've been considering replacing some rubber mount bushings on a C-90-14F engine that one of my airplanes (C-140A) is equipped with. Fresno Airparts offers the material at an attractive price, but I'm curious about the age of the rubber. Can anyone comment on their experience with rubber parts, i.e. ...

Thank you George! I will pass that information along to the gentleman needing the information.

Gentleman I know from another association is looking for someone in the Springfield, IL area that can lend a hand for a pre buy inspection on a Cessna 120. Does anyone know of someone in that area that might be of help? Thanks

My wife and I went out to AZ last year with our travel trailer (good ole TX company known as Casita), and on the way back to Florida ventured down to McAllen to see if I could obtain a copy of that photo. Previously, a local Florida friend of mine was in McCreery's lobby and spotted the picture whic...

This is a picture of the airplane in 1951-1952 when it was owned by McCreery. Must b...

N9633A.jpeg Ole Jack Shahan evidently didn't get the cream correctly done. He used a Sterling Systems paint that is labeled "cream" however, from what you've posted Gary, the canyon cream that Cessna utilized in those days has more yellow tint to it. What on the airplane looks more white ...

Was this the same Gene Sheehan who developed the Quickie back in the late ‘70s? No, I apologize, I should have said Jack Shahan not Gene Sheehan (I should have looked at the documentation before posting my previous pictures and comments. I'm teaching private pilot ground school currently at a local...

Cessna 1949 Material (1).png Cessna Interior (2).png This is the original exact type upholstery material that was installed in a 1949 Cessna 140A. According to records when I purchased the aircraft one of its previous owners, Gene Sheehan worked hard at putting the aircraft back in its original con...

I flew aerial low level power line patrol for a power company in NW Florida for 27 years, and can attest that dehydration can be a serious issue. I found that the use of a Camelbachttps://www.camelbak.com/water bag was a great life saver. I used to put the straps of the water pack over the back of t...
