Gypsy Pilot Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 I was online trying to locate Sectionals from the late 50's and early 60's and learned they are only available as antiques and are priced as such. I slowly dawned on me that if the charts that I used to use are antiques then I must be one too. Dale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc_Z Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 I thought antiques were over 100 years old, but you might be a collectible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gypsy Pilot Posted June 8, 2018 Author Share Posted June 8, 2018 Vintage is good, although sometimes some people just like some wines sour as they age. Dale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the time you become a collectible nobody wants to collect you unless they can put you on a shelf somewhere out of the way, They claim it's because I no longer care about convention or protocol and have this nasty habit of saying what is on my mind.

Rodger Pettichord Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 My wife keeps reminding me that it's not a bad thing to use the filter. Sometimes, just after I have spouted off something stupid, I have to agree with her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porsche Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 The older ones in Canada used to have the AM radio stations marked on them. As a youngster I flew rotary wing for a lot of years in the days before GPS and as there was usually an ADF in the panel those AM radio stations sure helped when being in an unfamiliar area and poor weather....plus you could pick up the news and a little music. I would love to have a few of those old maps but like a lot of things you don't miss them till they're gone. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olderndirt Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Remember taxiing out at McGrath, AK and, just for laughs, tuning my old Bendix to Anchorage AM station KFQD (10000 watts) and got a needle point. Followed the needle for 190 kts and was there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
