A picture of a picture, the plane didn't have that mottled surface finish. While living in San Luis Obispo in 1979, working for Craig Vetter, I got my pilot's license. I bought a Cessna 150 and owned it for several years. My flying instructor and I bought a Citabria to rent out. Citabria is airbatic spelled backwards. It is a tail wheel plane and was really fun to fly. It was designed for fancy flying and not my interest. It was popular and was rented out a lot. Another friend ran a flying service and I bought him a plane to lease out. Both served as a nice tax write-off. All three planes served to keep me employed, by necessity. Finally, reality set in and my leisure time was more important than these toys. By 1988 I had sold them. It was my pleasure to fly the 150 over half way across the USA on two occasions. My Fort Bidwell property had a long strip only 1/2 mile away. If I ever fly again I think it will be with a homebuilt one. I have few pictures of my flying time. They will be added as I find them. |
