I've been building an RV-6a but when we recently came into some money my wife allocated some money to purchase an airplane while the RV comes together. She gave me two requirements - four seats and high wings. After looking at a lot of 172s I ended up with a '58 Tripacer.
The airplane is over 50 years young. Does that constitute "vintage" in aviation circles? It most certainly would in automotive circles but it seems that aircraft just fly forever.
