You can fly in to the Fredricksberg airport for BBT! Congrats. A friend of mine owns a private airport in Waller if you want to park it there, just leave me the keys in case it needs to be moved,

Congratulations!

Nice lookin bird!  Does it have either a wing leveler or an autopilot?  What kind of Nav equipment does it have?  Is it equipped for IFR?

Hope it brings you many years of enjoyment.

Fly safe!

Just wondering how a 55 year old plane still manage to keep on flying with today's standards?  I know how cars work but if a 55 year old car just breaks down, you will see it on the side of the road waiting for AAA.  What is the case for a plane?
