The following plane is actually a 170B, not a 179 :?

They list their prices, but viewing is free.

George,

Wouldn't it be great if we could scan and post original paint scheme's as well as interior shots for all the years in one place.

I know, just another project among the list of good projects to accomplish.
CAUTION - My forum posts may be worth what you paid for them!

Another "vintage" photo (Proof that coming to our conventions are fun. I was
stopped in the hangar and asked to pose for a photo at the hangar dinner,
and just before the camera was shuttered, two grandaughters in the group
rushed in to add real "interest" to the pic.)
My reward for posing:
