The International Cessna 170 Association

Congratulations. Thanks for the good info.

Just a positive note for Spot, the satellite tracking service. My Spot Messenger quit working a couple months ago. All lights blinked correctly - on/tracks/msg sent/etc. However, my wife received no bread crumbs on the computer during a couple flights outa the general ao. On the second troubleshooti...

Thanks for posting those links.
Looks like good tools/toys in the future.

PM on the way
Good luck

Very impressive seeing the pictures as you progress.

Thanks

Looking forward to the next episode.

Thanks. Another learning day.
Sometimes I read and assume I know.
Goat is good. I lived in Houma for a year and learned all about the benfits of Nutria. I could not then, and positive I could not now, choke it down.
