The last time I flew one of these was in 1962 in Memphis, TN. I took a couple of my Navy Buddies up for a sightseeing tour of the muddy Mississippi River. Yes, I got my private pilot certificate at age 19.

I totally don’t know what this is, but I want it . . .

We attended the seventeenth annual Wickenburg Fly-in and Classic Car Show last Saturday. I threw together a slideshow of a few of the many aircraft and classic cars The Better Half and I photographed that day. Roll over the slideshow with your mouse to stop playing and roll back out to resume.
The Better Half and I took our dogs to the dog park today which is adjacent to the airport. I saw this nice Cessna 195 out on the ramp so I asked the FBO if I could walk out to it and get a picture. This airplane might be here a week ahead of the fly-in and classic auto show at this airport next Saturday. Clickable image.
The Better Half took this (clickable) image of a classic old 1973 Buick convertible while I went into check the PO box. The interior of this nice ride is very comfy-looking brown leather. It warms my heart to see that someone still drives these big heavy cars with the big engine under the hood.
The Better Half snapped this (clickable) image of an old panel delivery truck driving through old downtown. I initially thought this was a Hudson, but I can’t match it up.
Any ideas?
We see a lot of Jeeps and other off-road vehicles in town but this one looks to be an older model. Plus, it’s in the old Army olive drab color which adds to the nostalgic appeal. I like the tires and hubs. Clickable image.
When this hot rod passed us in traffic today, The Better Half took this (clickable) image.
I don’t have any late firearms-related things to pass along other than to send this reminder to California District 36 voters (via ACE):
If you’re a resident of California District 36, not only should you vote, you should call friends to get them to vote for Craig Huey.
He doesn’t give taxpayer money to convicted killers and rapists.
His opponent, Janice Hahn, voted consistently against the second amendment as a Los Angeles City councilwoman. We’re registered in Arizona now, but lived in that highly gerrymandered district for years.
