This picture has a very emotional attachment to it. It was my first time flying with my "new friends", you and dad, and it was the second day and the culmination of 19.5 hours flying to get to Clinton just as the sun breaks through the clouds. Some here talk of Clinton as a "religious" experience. Well that's about what I felt at that moment. It's funny how one picture can bring back that flood of emotion as if you were right there again. Thank you to both of you for that experience. Enough sap. Back to selling Roberts beauty of a plane! Someone will get a wonderful aircraft, of that I'm sure.

Sorry you need to sell her. She is a beautiful airplane! Thanks so much, Bill! But hey, our airplanes are like people; it's how they relate to the ones who love them that's important! | | | | Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 4,204 Likes: 1 Member/2500+posts | Member/2500+posts Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 4,204 Likes: 1 | She is a beautiful airplane! Beautiful and a GREAT one, too, I might add. If anyone out there is looking for a truly nice 150, the Pennsylvania Duchess should end your search. I've admired this plane at Clinton for many years. Best of luck, Robert......I hate to see this but you said the day was coming this spring and here we are. Jim I'll certainly miss the camaraderie one finds in the aviation community, and especially the flights to Clinton, but times change and, unfortunately, we have to face reality. I very much appreciate your kind words though. | | | | Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 4,204 Likes: 1 Member/2500+posts | Member/2500+posts Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 4,204 Likes: 1 | Here ya go Robert. Taken on my one and only flying attendance to the Confab. This was taken just as we arrived over the city of Clinton. I have it as wallpaper on my computer. [ Linked Image] It is also the wallpaper on my PC. It is a great photo and a reminder of one of my best trips to the Confab!

Not the same without you two. Thanks, Ron. I would enjoy a trip to Clinton with Robert, and keep the possibility open. An engine rebuilt has limited funding necessary for the trip. Ironic... spend the money to keep flying and then can't afford to fly, go figure. :-)

The next time we meet for lunch, we can make that a subject for discussion. | | | | Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 4,204 Likes: 1 Member/2500+posts | Member/2500+posts Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 4,204 Likes: 1 | Update on sale of N4629X: Showed the airplane last night to a family from nearby Schuylkill County, PA. The father, a Cherokee Six owner, his oldest college-age son, and two teenage sons are all pilots. They loved 29X and want to have an A/I friend look at it next week. I hope this family decides to buy it. They said they would hanger it and I know my 150 will be flown. I intend to insist that they join the Cessna 150-152 Club as a condition of sale! | | | | Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 8,775 Likes: 300 Member/7500+posts | Member/7500+posts Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 8,775 Likes: 300 | | | | | Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 25,411 Likes: 995 Member/25,000 posts | Member/25,000 posts Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 25,411 Likes: 995 | Hope you'll get it sold to them, at a good price.
