Bought a 1953 Cessna 170b this weekend and am very excited for it to finish annual and start getting some hour under the belt. Its got 145-hp with 180 gear and a horton stol kit. Needs some work but should be a fun plane. Excited to be a Cessna owner, and meet some other 170 owners. Located in Southern Maine, and love to meet up with any one who is in the area.

Yea have been looking at 170 for a while, ended up buying a supercub a few years ago with a partner, but was ready to get a plane on my own and so ended up looking at the 170 once again.

Would add a photo of it, but have not figure out how to yet..

Brian,
As you are not a TIC170 member yet, to the best of my knowledge, you do not have the privilege of posting photos. If you are a member or become one, let the webmaster and we'll give you member privileges.
