Re: 140 with 150 tail?
Notice the large door opening? Not an early straitback 150, since they all had 120/140 doors. Must be a 1962 or 63.

Re: 140 with 150 tail?
'60- '65 150's have the tapered door. Square door started in '66 with the F model.
Omni-Vision started in '64 with the D model.
The straight back with the square door didn't happen from the factory.
There was some really creative assembling to get this combination in one plane for sure!
I sure would have enjoyed having this plane...just for the conversational value!

Might want to quieten down - if an overzealous person (big brother) happens to be monitoring, FAA can always require a "conformance check" and pull the AW certificate unless all mods are properly documented! 2C.

Re: 140 with 150 tail?
I think you May have found a “Texas tailwheel conversion” they aren’t as rare as you would expect and the ones that really look odd are the newer 152’s with the rear window and modern shaped tail

Re: 140 with 150 tail?
Nope. This one has the Bolen/Lowe tailwheel conversion. (Uses C-120/140 gear and tailwheel bracket, unlike the Texas STC.). As noted, there is a whole lot of different years and parts joined together here in this bird. Some early straitback joined to some later square door cabin with 140A or 150 wings. Love to see it's paperwork!

Re: 140 with 150 tail?
Very hard to tell from that picture, but it doesn't look like it has fowler flaps, so I'm guessing an A wing with different tips.klyde sessna wrote: ↑Tue Sep 01, 2020 7:03 pm Nope.
