Ian,
17 single-digit S/Ns listed as still flying
I do believe that there's many a fine tune played on an old fiddle.
But, even though I am as much of a fan of an old Jetranger as the next man (despite some nervous moments watching the temperature peak during start), I am struggling to understand how there were ever 17 single-digit airframes, unless someone at the factory had a terrific
fiddle going of his own...
(I guess you mean double-digit?)...
