Bought myself a Christmas plane :-)

[pigpenracing]

Just picked up this award winning 1947 Cessna 140! I love it! Going to teach my son to fly in this airplane. The guy that rebuilt this plane is awesome, attention to detail is outstanding!

Wow.....

If I had a son.....

And I wanted him to learn to fly....

I would buy something just like that.... Only, likely not as pretty....

Very nice.

Patroller doors and drop down lights, very cool, the panel..well you got a little re organizing to do, but overall that's a heck of a plane, well done!

drop down lights!

standard old light came on most aircraft of that era.

Believe it was made by Grimes. Pretty common in the 30s and 40s. Beech 18s, Cessna Bobcat, even the cabin Wacos had them.

That is one sexy airplane! Congrats!

Can you put an LED in there for the drop down? Looks like a 4509 (thinking power draw). Good gracious, that's a gorgeous 140!

 

[Velocity173]

[mscard88]

[Unit74]

I hate you now.........




BTW.....can I fly it?

 

[James331]

Yeah, because "award winning" just ain't good enough....

Just because it's funkey, still a hell of a plane no doubt.

 

[frfly172]

Looks fun.

Wish they flew a little better up here in summertime, they're such cool little airplanes.

 

[JCranford]

Wow, now you're talkin! That's gorgeous!!

 

[Let'sgoflying!]

Very, very, very, very, very nice.

I agree with SD58 although I think he understated it by about 3 "very's".

 

[Let'sgoflying!]

NoNoNo! It's a 1947 airplane!

 

[Tom-D]

NoNoNo! It's a 1947 airplane!

Tell me why not?

 

[SCCutler]

....cuz it just feels wrong?

What a beautiful plane!

 

[Let'sgoflying!]

Tell me why not?

It's like a beautiful, elegant lady of some age wearing....teen bling.

 

[Tom-D]

I'm not so vintage the I can't see a safety improvement when I see one

 

[Greg Bockelman]

Why?

 

[GMascelli]

[tawood]

Good point, but it's got Whelen tip strobes and an updated panel. I looked but didn't see mention of an alternator conversion.

OK, you see that same elegant lady with the silly colored nails.
I say stop there, and forgo the full sleeve dragon tattoo!
