Default Smoking, etc. in cockpit

At Tehachapi, back in 1972, we had a 2-32 that had an ashtray
installed. Don't know if it was factory installed or not but it was
one of those chrome flip top lid types. Beirne Lay Jr. (Twelve O'clock
High, etc.) used to come up from LA and fly the 2-32. After he landed,
the ashtray was always jammed full with cigarette butts. Maybe the
ashtray capacity determined how long he could fly!
