Nice shot for this one and previous Jim. My kid brother had a 120 
that we did a little running around the countryside in. Turned out 
that just after he bought it he discovered in the logs that an uncle 
had owned it 20 years before. My brother sold the aircraft a number 
of years ago and it is now the only Cessna 120 registered in Italy. 
Very small world sometimes.
