From a former owner - In early 1975, I rescued this abandoned airplane from a hangar on an air base in northeast Thailand, to which it had been hurriedly flown by American members of an embassy flying club in Vientiane, Laos, just before the country fell to communists the previous year. I renovated it over two weeks, painted the current Indonesian registration letters, and flew it to Jakarta through tropical storms over Sumatra, flying it there for two years while assigned to the American Embassy. In Thailand, it had sat hangared under the wing of Laotian resistance General Vang Pao's DC-3. This Cessna 150 has a lot of history!
