OFF TOPIC:
FS: My Ford Ranger (our family spare which lives in the hangar).
If you’re looking for a small airport truck with so little modern technology that it would be a minor miracle if anyone under 30 could operative it, my 2010 Ford Ranger is for you. It would make a GREAT teenager’s first vehicle. Probably $9,100. I bought it from Dan Horton a decade ago. The a/c is terrifyingly cold. There are no more tiny trucks for sale in the USA. This is one. AM/FM and no cruise. Clean the interior with a leaf blower. The pic with the two wooden chairs is my son Tate learning how to parallel park on the Charlie taxiway <grin>. It’s time to let it go, I can’t justify the financial expense of keeping it (empty nesters).

Locks and lighting
1. I tried lubricating my pilot door lock yesterday, key still does not want to function well. Copilot door does not have a lock at all??? What is a reasonable approach to remedy this? My guess is to replace all of the locks and add a lock to copilot side? I had to disassemble the lock to...
