[OM] IMG: Visitor from the Forties

[Jim Nichols]

There is a large event starting tomorrow at the Beechcraft Museum, so visitors 
are arriving.  I found this visitor from the past posing for photos this 
afternoon.

This is a Cessna 195A from 1949, based in Texas.  When it was first offered, it 
was considered a first class business aircraft.

The cowling is interesting, representing one of the NACA (forerunner of NASA) 
designs for maximizing cooling while minimizing drag.
