I sold my 170B.
Goddam I sold my 170.
A couple of pics from the day.
Above the clouds 3000' delivering it down to the new owner.
Safely in its new home.
Me and Ben (new owner and way cooler than me - he now owns a 170B after all
)
My landing at its new home - last ever 170B landing

In the country that gave us Newcastle Brown Ale, the Coors hat is a little suspicious.

Half a century spent proving “it is better to be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.”
Bittersweet day for sure. Good luck on the hunt for a wagon!

Come on Zane, I grew up on Coors and Coors Light. AND, the phrase "older but no wiser" still rings true.

We can’t have these Englishmen appropriating our piss lager culture, Jack!
All joking aside, excited for you to move up to a wagon, Joe. That seems the answer to so many questions these days.

Oh man we even make that particular piss lager here now so the hat is potentially more authentic than the beer
And yeah, me too. It's a definite step up in fuel burn and expense at least...looking forward to the whole buying process right now to be honest. Enjoying educating myself (and being educated
).
Oh and thanks for fixing the YT link.

There were a couple of potentially good deals on Wagons recently. But, I think they are gone, now all I see is very high priced ones. In my opinion the airplane market is very slow right now.
