AOPA Classic Champion Article

Post by 6183 »

There’s an article entitled Classic Champion in the February 2025 issue of AOPA Pilot that does an entertaining job of comparing the Cessna 120 series with the Piper J-3 Cub, Taylorcraft BC12, and the Aeronca 7AC Champion aircraft. Worth reading for a good smile.

I heard that the recent EAA vintage magazine had a good write up on the 120/140 convention.
