I didn’t notice these photos at first because they were with the Skymaster photos, but then I realized that I had the Super Skymaster photos as well. The turbo option must have been a blast to fly!
I was always fascinated with this airplane and enjoyed seeing it fly into the airpark when I was younger. I remember the excitement when I heard the pilot radio in that they were on final approach, and I would run outside to see the plane come in for a landing. I also remember refueling a Skymaster when I was working as a line boy in my teens, and I’ll never forget the sound of it on takeoff. Excellent aircraft and great times!
I recently scanned these promotional photos that my father received as an authorized Cessna dealer from the 1960s and early 1970s. Wow, do these bring back memories!
This is the first post on my new blog. I’m just getting this new blog going, so stay tuned for more. Subscribe below to get notified when I post new updates.
I added 2 new pages and both are articles on Buffalo Air-Park written in the 1950’s. You can use the menu at the top or bottom of this site to access the pages or click on the links below to take you there directly.
This second article https://buffaloairpark.wordpress.com/nys-aviation-bureau-october-1952/ was featured in this flyer where my father was interviewed about Buffalo Air-Park on pages 5 & 6. This is an interesting publication because it also talks about aviation news at the time of that writing.
