The 70's were not kind on the eyes. Ever seen the plaid cloth interior they used to put in Learjets?

If somebody gave me that airplane, the first thing I'd do is tape the avionics master switch into the OFF position. Fuck it, no point in trying to use those radios. The panel is a living testament to outdated equipment.
Comes with a tow bar though! |

That plane belongs in the Smithsonian for what it did. It's in a museum in Berlin, IIRC. It is certainly the most historically important 172 in the world. Rusts flight was very important in the breakup of the USSR, IMO. |
