Our chief pilot came in for a while to order more airplane parts on-line.
Just chatting with him he had two personal airplanes. A Cessna 210 Turbo that looks like it is brand new and full of all sorts of neat toys, and his 1946 Cessna 140. A 70 year old airplane that is about as basic as possible. He had had it in an annual for the last few months. He is in no big hurry to finish it up when it was winter. Now that spring has sprung he wants to get it in the air. Since ADSB is required in a few years he is going to get it compliant now.
It was delivered with radios that were tube based. No transistors in 1947. It is just a cool old toy.
