    I got an email from the new owner of my old 170 I sold 3 months ago. The hangar the 170 was in collapsed due to snow and totaled the airplane. It's a sad end after 64 years of adventures. https://www.backcountrypilot.org/images/photos/544/5376/46fe80c928476e6e16d6bb7b.jpg https://www.backcountrypilot.org/images/photos/544/5376/810d5c92e9f6ada12e6ceb6f.jpg
