What a sweetheart of a plane! When I was a young pilot all those years ago, there was a 140 just like that tied down on the ramp. I'd look with envy every time I walked past it to climb into the old rattletrap Champ I learnd in, Oh, how I wanted to fly that 140! Well done, Adam!

Wonderful memories! Back in 1961 I quit college to learn to fly. After getting my Private Pilot License at a local airport I enrolled at American Flyers in Ardmore, Oklahoma, and flew the Cessna 140 for my Commercial. A terrific little airplane that taught me a lot. I moved over the to Piper J-3 Cub for my Instructor Certificate and eventually, of course, to larger machines for the Instrument Rating.

 

To this day I believe that all pilots should learn in a tail dragger with minimum instrumentation to truly understand the art of flying.

Perfect scenery for a perfect plane Adam I like the hanger pic. I think metallic chrome is beautiful I would not like to buff it all the time, I know what is like as when I volunteered at a Air Museum there was a P-51 shinning like your C-140 it is a lot of work as it oxidizes so quick, thank God this is FS world.

Mark, Klee, Dan, Michael, Larry, Jason, Jim, il88 and Kenny, thank you very much. :)

 

Jim, I think the squirrel is possessed, as you can see in the first shot he was waiting for me outside the hanger then proceeded to chase me down the runway. :mad:

Adam, I believe that friendly little squirrel was just looking to go up for a ride in your shinny plane. It might have been a flying squirrel. Jim

Jim you are right it was a flying squirrel, it flew right into my oven with some spices and a little worcestershire sauce at 175 degrees for 3 to 4 hours. :D

 

Did you ever have squirrel jerky Bernardo. :D

 

Thank you my friend. :)
