Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Hard Landing (No Frills Landing) ;-)

[Stephen Sherman (sherman]

Larry, I had the Cessna 150 Aerobat built. I did not buy when it was new as 
it was used to cert. variations of the 150 till the 152 was introduced then 
it was sold to the public. I had all the log books, number changes 
configuration (stahdard and long range tanks, wing (spar) mods etc. Sold it 
when I went to Oshkosh twice 1 year and was paying for 110 mph and being 
passed by 55mph road traffic. I used to take skydivers up, not for 
parachuting, but to introduce them to real flying (conveterd a couple).
The best flight was to Chicago where we sold it(I was going to build a Pitts 
S2A- funny note I ended up selling the kit to Paul Newman - not the actor). 
Last I saw it was in Florida. First time at Oshkosh the tower was talking to 
a Black and White 150
and from the description of where it was we were occupying the same space, 
1914F was DARK Blue and white, turned out it was us.
