I'm taking my aunt back and forth to the doctor/hospital by car. It takes
one
and half hours one way. It would take 30 minutes one way by Cessna 172.
Her
first husband was a corporate pilot back in the 1930's and 1940's. I
remember
him flying a Beech staggerwing, but to her it was a Beechcraft.

She said the company gave the Beechcraft to the government for the war
effort,
and replaced it with a Cessna. What kind of business aircraft was Cessna
making
in the 30's and 40's? I have the funny feeling she expect me to show up
the
"Songbird".

Airmaster, 4 place full cantilever high wing, 145hp or 165hp warner round
engine and could do almost 1 mph per hp. An outstanding airplane in both
looks and performance.
