Sold my 140

[flattie45 17]

Well, I finally sold my Cessna 140. I bought it in February of 2003 and it has been a great little aircraft. Most of my flying has been out to my parent's cabin, but I've taken a few trips around the state with it. With a 125 HP Lycoming (85 HP Continental is standard) it was a good performer. But with a growing family it is just a little to small. It will be awhile before I can get anything bigger, but it will be easier to save up without an airplane rifling through the wallet.

The new owner is a great guy and seems like he'll put some time on it. I haven't been flying as much as I used to and it always pains me to see aircraft sitting around for any length of time. In the meantime I'll continue window shopping for the next plane.

So whats the scoop on the sea ray?? Have you flown it yet?

I was lost without a plane, hopefully you have access to one so you can still get out and about when the urge strikes!

I flew the Searey twice this summer. Awesome visibility. It has a few things that need to be fixed (electrical problem and engine oil leak) before it can fly again. If I lived in Florida it would be great, but the structure is not at all rugged. And I am looking for something with four seats. So once it is airworthy it will be for sale.
