The Cessna 120-140 Association Forum

I've been working on this 1946 Cessna 140 restoration for 2 years. It started as a project for me and my 16-year-old son. We had a great time working together on it. While I consider myself more of a mechanic (A&P / I.A.), my son is aspiring to be a corporate pilot someday. I thought what a better way to become a pilot, than to first fully understand how the airplane works, plus have some ownership in it! First flight on the airplane happened 1/13/2023. This aircraft had not flown in 25 years and had not had a current annual in 30 years. It's always great to see an old airplane come back to life.

Amen, Nate!! Thanks for sharing the "beginning" pics as well as the background story...and, importantly, thanks & CONGRATS to you and to your son for bringing this beauty back to life. We'll look forward to digging in to the YouTube video!! Mac
