Cessna 170 Photoshoot: Hayward, CA
I had quite the opportunity the other day... to photograph four beautiful Cessna 170's at the Hayward Executive airport in Hayward, CA. My friend manages Bud Field Aviation, and owns a '50 A himself. I flew to Hayward in my new (to me) '50 A model, and another friend of mine, who owns a '52 B came down as well. There is a 180HP 3-blade conversion B model in the hangar as well, so we pulled it out and photographed it along with our airplanes.
Well, what a combination. Two 170 A's and two B's. In order from front to back: 1950 C170A owned by Tyler Orsow, my 1950 C170A, 1952 C170B owned by Bob Berwick, and the 180HP 170B... I don't know who owns that.
I added a slight art fresco filter in photoshop and cropped the image down a bit... thats the only editing done to the image... for the most part it's straight out of the camera.
Camera used was my Canon Eos 1D Mark II N with Canon 24-70mm f/2.8L USM Lens.

Neat how new England lost and gained a 170. Or California for that fact.
Interesting sometimes how our planes have traveled about the world.
My friends 170A despite being owned by over 30 people, most being partners, has never been owned since delivery in '49, outside of Pennsylvania.

Q didn't all 170's come with wheel pants?
or was this an option?
i see none of these planes have them.

It was a factory option. Here is a list of standard equipment on a '54. http://cessna1200.tripod.com/id27.htm

I think you're out of luck. I might have to do it since it appears that it now resides in southern NH(?) If so, it's not that far from me.MeeksDigital wrote:next time i'm in hayward, i'll see what i can dodoug8082a wrote:A shot of this plane on the ground showing off that three-blade prop would be neat for the calendar...
