Thanks for the replies I am still sorting this out. Was interested to know if the Cessna 170 was still in existence. Probably not if it was working the bush all those years. Now we have the dehavilland Rapide, a Cessna 170 mentioned in book text with picture of a Cessna 180. Three airplanes. Poor Er...

Forecaster's at Hurricane Center Miami seem a little stunned. I am concerned about the big picture but with a special litt...
