New to me 140A

Post by drumflyer60 »

Just finished my tail wheel endorsement today! After 45+ years of flying and over 25,000 hours I’m signed off to fly tail wheel planes. One of the most rewarding experiences I’ve had in the air!

And….. my new to me 1950 C140A is showing up to my Airpark on Monday. Can’t wait to fly her and have some fun!
