I doubt that this one could have looked any better when it rolled off the assembly line some 61 years ago.

Classic.

I'm half owner of this 1965 Cessna 150E. Today while I was working on my Challenger II my partner was taking a lesson. I've waited 3 seasons to see my plane in flight, from the outside!
