The International Cessna 170 Association

A lot of stations in both Georgia and Mississippi that are not on the list have signs saying no ethanol.

That was a very interesting video. They did not mention that they got the idea from the railroads. The railroad RPO's would pick up the mail on the fly at speed with a hook on the side of the RPO car and throw a bag off the train at the same time. This method had started on the trains in the 1800's ...

If he is so blind that he could not see the big X on the runway untill he was on short final and committed to land, he should not be flying. Also, why did he depart from a taxiway rather than using one of the two not closed runways? Pure arrogance and a "The rules do not apply to me" attit...

In our area most of the auto gas stations now post their gas contains no alcohol. (Some still post that their gas may contain up to 10% alcohol). However, when I was still flying, although my 180 was approved for auto gas, I did not use it because of the short "shelf life" of the auto gas.

I basicly believe proficiency, not the rating you have determines safety. I have single and multi engine land, single engine sea, instrument airplane and am a former CFI. However in my final flying days I considered myself a single engine day time VFR pilot because I didn't fly or practice enough to...

I believe the flight we took during the convention, just off of the Outter Banks, was the prettiest scenery I have ever observed while flying in my 40 plus years of flying.

He kind of looks like you George

Frank,

I would think they are compatible, but, George probably knows. I used to get different looking containers from different sources but never actually looked at the numbers, assuming that they all met military or aircraft specs.

Over the years I most always used single grade oil in my 170, 172, and 180 and never had any major engine problems. In the 70's and early 80's I used Texaco Oil W-100 with an occasional winter change of W-80. I changed to Shell W-100 and W-80 when the Texaco oil either quit being made or became hard...

George,

Have you ordered your supply of the worms yet?

Gary, I never heard of Jan Wood flying a 170B most of the way around the world. However, Jerri Mock did fly her 1953 180 solo completely around the world in 1965 or 1966. When I had my 180 I called it my "overgrown 170".

What is the most; northern, southern, eastern, and western airport in North America that you have operated from? Myself, northern; Vegreville, Alberta, southern; Key West, Florida, eastern; Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, and western; Tehachapi, California.

My Javelin did not have a seperate vent. It had a vented cap that looked like a vented automotive gas cap of the era. The installation instructions paper work also did not show a seperate vent.

On February 20, 1977, I couxed my 170A N9027A up to a maximum altitude of 16,000 feet. I just checked my old log book for the exact date. I was determined to see how high it would go. As best I remember it took what seems like forever to get to 16,000 but it was actually still climbing very very ver...

My former 1949, N9027A, had the 3/4 inch lip. More of the other 170A's I remember had the larger lip rather than the smaller lip.
