Notes: A lovely, 1950 Cessna 170A! It would have been built with a six-cylinder Continental O-300-A, 145-HP engine, but the prop here looks suspiciously like the aircraft has a four-cylinder Lycoming O-320 or O-360. Note also the STOL fences on the wings and the Metcoaire (I think) wing tips. (Correct me if I'm wrong!)

See Sea Planes.org for more on SPA and their beautiful "Water Flying" magazine. You would enjoy the photos and articles, and you might learn about a seaplane fly-in near you! If you do, and you get some nice photos, I'll post them on this site. |
