If you recognize anyone in this photo, you might be an old timer in the Cessna 170 Association.

Who’s that character in the dark glasses with a mustache?

For posterity, it might be worth listing the subjects.

The subjects in the above picture are as follows:

This picture was taken at Mary & Ed Booths house in 1983. After hambergers and hot dogs, the group was subjected to about a zillion of slides taken of our flight to the Yellowknife NWT convention that year. This was back in the good old days and simpler times.

Great video, Kari. Nice collection of historical pictures of your airplane. I've been unable to find any pictures of mine from the first 20 years.

Just polished.

Hello everybody,

Good flights to all of you,

That is one of the most unusual custom paint schemes I’ve ever seen on a 170. WELCOME! (our son just returned from Brazil, having spent a couple weeks vacationing.)

Not a 170…but a Lovely Photo:

Going through my photo album, I ran across these pictures from January 17, 2022, on the ramp at Llano, TX and a beautiful sunset flight back to Fredericksburg, after a delicious meal at Cooper’s Bar-B-Que and ice cream on the courthouse square.

p.s. That DC-7B in the picture above was at Oshkosh in 2010, I believe. I bought a tour of the interior to help them raise money for its O&M expenses. Best money I spent at OSH that year. The interior and cockpit was still all original and everything worked, awesome! And in the rear, the spherical aft pressure bulkhead made a perfect lounge area. Beautiful airplane, inside and out.

Found a picture of my 58 172 with the Bolen TW conversion. I owned this from 1985 to 1992. Love the look of a straight tail with this conversion.

Great menu. Beats heck out of pancakes.

Sure does....our day began with a trip to Shell Lake WI for pancakes that morning.
