all this talk about being the new
owner of an aircraft
keeps reminding me of when i
bought my 1946 C140!!
i bought it from a Henry Douglas
at Clow Airport in the western suburbs of chicago
back in 1979!!
here is a picture of the 3,700 i used to buy it!!
there is no feeling like one gets
when the first airplane is purchased!!

It's often said around boats that the two happiest days in a boat owner's life are the day they bought it and the day they sold it. I've never heard that about airplanes, for some reason! ![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)

Hi Iowa,
Funny you should post that picture. A friend just brought his 42 willeys frame into the paint shop to paint after sandblasting. Me being me I had to look it over which led to finding cracks and bad welds.
I ended up welding about 65 spots and then priming it and painting it this week. Yours is looking very nice. Brian
