Heres a recent shot from our Thanksgiving trip up to Beaver Creek Maine 51ME, such a cool location and definitely friendly to 170's with a 2300ft grass strip.

Good Evening All!
My partner Michelle (the M in AnM) and I are the proud new owners of 3234A, a 1953 170B, whose previous several owners have been members of this fine association. In February we flew from Central Oregon to Missouri on short notice as perspective buyers, and had a wonderful and straightforward pre-buy inspection with Jason. We came to an agreement and were thrilled to become her new caretaker. Jason was extremely kind and allowed us to leave the aircraft with him for about a month as I was in the midst of CFI checkride prep (I passed!).
In early March I saw an opportunity to make the training and retrieval trip, as I hadn't yet earned my tailwheel endorsement. After about ten hours of excellent training from an incredible local instructor, I was ready to make the long cross-county trip. I chose to avoid the Rocky Mountains and instead stop to visit family in Tucson, AZ. Day one was Neosho, MO. to Tucson, AZ. Day two was Tucson, AZ to Prineville, OR. After two long days and one interesting lesson learned about mountain-wave turbulence, I made it home just after sunset.
As previously stated, Michelle and I are thrilled. She is an aviation mechanic, and I am overly eager to keep the aircraft in top shape, so she keeps me honest and legal
Over the last couple months we have been absorbing as much information as possible from this group, and are extremely appreciative of all the quality information provided.
Attached are a few photos.
Michelle and I on a scenic Easter trip to Crater Lake 34A "Cinnamon Bun" on the ramp in Klamath Falls with some F-15's in the background. Michelle busy removing old insulation on our first big project - new insulation and corrosion prevention. Proud new owner after an exhausting eleven hour flight full of turbulence. Hard at work to get everything "Just right!" Looking forward to contributing to the association as we become more familiar with 34A and take on more projects!
Andrew

Congratulations Andrew and Michelle! Even though it’s been nearly 43 years now but your excitement reminds me of the giddiness I felt when I first took over as caretaker of ‘98C.
I’m pretty sure your 170 once belonged to John and Alice Tumblin, then to Angela and Chris Anderson, all well-known members of the 170 Association. John was a professor of anthropology and sociology, and spent time as a lay teacher for a Baptist mission in South America. I remember him telling stories of flying very long legs down there, long enough that he had to refill the javelin tank from 5-gallon cans in flight. John passed away in November of 2023 about a month after his 100th birthday. Angela is a second generation 170 pilot. Her dad Ed Booth’s airplane was N3225A, only nine numbers earlier (and only one number after the one AOPA gave away last year).
You mentioned you have family in Tucson. I hope you can make it to the 170 Convention in Willcox, AZ this September; it would be great to see that airplane again!
