  1. It's amazing how many of those are still in use today from that timeframe.

    1. A tool that does the job well, no reason not to keep it working.

  2. I've flown one a few times. They are a delight to fly.

  3. lol. The plane in that image matches in aircraft type, N-number, and paint scheme a remote control Piper Cub sold online at Nitroplane.com. The RC version does not have a merry couple peaking out of it tho.

    The actual N7101P is/was a 1960-built Piper Comanche registered in Chicago whose registration expired in 2014. I speculate that the owner/pilot passed away and it is sitting in a hanger or aircraft graveyard somewhere. Hope I’m wrong.

  4. Nope, I learned how to fly in a 1951 Cessna 140 in the mid 70's as a teenager. It had an altimeter, compass, attitude indicator, and a cheap radio. More than once I have buzzed a water tower to confirm where I was.
