[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I spoke with the pilot of this pretty Cessna yesterday, because we have a mutual friend. But I didn't really look closely at the airplane until he was taxiing away to go home. I snapped a photo to get the registration number, thinking all along that it was a Cessna 180. Lo and behold, when I ran the registration, I found it to be a 1956 Cessna 172. Apparently, at some point in its life, it was converted to conventional gear. It makes a very pretty configuration, quite different from the conventional Cessna 170 with its rounded rudder. http://www.gallery.leica-users.org/v/OldNick/1956+Cessna.tif.html X-E1 with 27mm Any comments would be appreciated. -- Jim Nichols Tullahoma, TN USA
