    Seeing those dismembered parts reminds me of how we kept a Cessna 140 in the air when I worked at the Sarasota-Bradenton Airport in the late 40's. One our 140's had an accident that destroyed the tail and aft fuselage. During the hurricane season a 140 in the Palm Beach area had the nose destroyed. We acquired the tail section from that airplane and joined it to the nose section that we had.
