    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.

    Thanks, guys. If my only contributions are to lighten things up, then that is good.
