The International Cessna 170 Association

I'm pretty sure that's a 140. In a few frames you can see the shape of the rear window that's signficiantly different from that of a 170. Also, I think I can see the angle of the bottom of the door in a few frames.

It also has skylights and I don't think those were available on any 170.

I still have a rise in blood pressure every time I see or think about a hand propping accident...

I imagine Miles, your prospective of hand propping has been changed for ever. I took note this 140 also have a passenger along for a ride.

I love the VW bus chasing the thing around! What was he doing?

WOW!!!!!!!! as far back as 1967 someone had a cell phone camera.

This one goes into a little more detail (even though they got the date wrong ) but basically describes the same thing:

He was trying to time it just right to ram the run away 140.

Where was the cowboy? with his lasso.
