While I was watching the glider and skydiving activity at the airport 
today, this sight from the 1950s taxiied over to the gas pumps.  This is 
a Cessna 170B from 1954, although the registration shows the original 
Continental 145hp engine has been replaced with a Lycoming O-360 of 
180hp.  The pilot, who was certainly older than the airplane, was 
preflighting the aircraft for a Sunday flight.
