I was having fun with it all the way there...Until I popped out that one stupid question. What year is this plane I asked..I wast thinking 98'99' something in the 90's even. He said 1967. He said no worries, everything has been changed and update...All I kept thinking about is driving an old beat up salvaged car. We all know what those go through. I said land this bitch now. I shitted bricks knowing how old that thing was.

Then again, when we fly in commercial planes that still have ashtrays glued shut.
Dave, in order for a plane of that age to keep flying it has to be kept up as far as maintenace. The engine the prop etc has to be serviced or rebuilt after so many flying hours.There are people who love older vintage planes, its akin to owning a vintage car
