N8059X @ TCY - What a fine plane 59X was (crashed in 9-23-12) that gave me over 500 very enjoyable hours. How fortunate pilots in the 50s and 60s were when the C172 came along. - by S B J

N8059X @ Q59 - One spring day at the old Fremont airport in calif. This happened every other year or so. It was very good at keeping the dust down. By the way, 59X is sitting on pallets. Water is 2-3 feet deep.If you didnt move your plane in time, this was next best. - by S B J
