My private pilot certificate was issued in 1968; my first BFR was in November 1974, so the rule had to be implemented some time in the 1972-74 range.

— Red, blue and green avgas. — VHF radios wih only a dozen or so transmitting crystals, so you talked on one frequency to tower or FSS, and listened on another. If you were lucky enough to have a “Simplex” frequency and the appropriate crystal, the “whistle-stop” feature helped you tune the...

As with auto manufacturers, Cessna trotted out its new models in the fall of the previous year. The 1962 Model 210B hit the market in the fall of 1961, beginning with s/n 21057841, and featured several major changes from the '61 Model 210A. FAA's registration database refers only to the...

We had a PA-32 fly-in at IFP (Bullhead City AZ / Laughlin NV) last November. Signature went out of its way to accommodate us (fuel/parking discount; meeting room with A/V equipment; shuttle service to the hotel across the river; pleasant, friendly staff) and helped make the event a success.

That's a 150J, the 1969 model. One of the better years, still fairly light weight without a lot of the unnecessary trim doo-dads Cessna glopped onto the 150 in the 1970s to make it look like one of their bigger models. The 150J was the first model of the 150 that had a key-operated electric...

Exhaust valves. I had a 2007 S-LSA with a factory-new O-200-A. The engine was a selling point for me at the time. I've been flying airplanes (mostly C-150s) with the O-200-A since the mid-1960s, so I figured I knew how to operate it. It needed new exhaust valves on all cylinders at 125...

Aesthetically, early 180s have in my opinion the best proportions of any Cessna single.

Rear window came with the 1964 150D. Important safety feature - you need it to see where you're going in a headwind. The new 152 was more-or-less an evolutionary change for the 1978 model year - switch to Lyc O-235, gross weight up to 1670 lb, flaps limited to 30° - otherwise same as the '77 150M.

The first Aerobat was the A150K, 1970 model year.

I lucked out. I found my Citabria through a broker, and soon learned than my own mechanic had done the last two annuals on it.
