I had the ACF-50 corrosion treatment applied to my 1978 Piper Seneca II in 1991, and there is still a bit of weeping around rivets to this day. Maybe it was applied too heavily. Had a fuel bladder replaced in 2000, and there were no signs of corrosion in the wing. I purchased the aircraft brand new in 1978, and it has always been based within 6 miles of salt water and has flown hundreds of hours at or below 1500 feet AGL over salt water as a Coast Guard Auxiliary aircraft, but always hangared.

Real Men Indeed
I enjoyed Coyle Schwab’s article about Cessna 195s. I wanted to let you know that real women fly them also and I am one of them.

I learned to fly in a Luscombe 8E in 1980 and have always had a love affair with the 195. I would always ask to have my picture taken in front of beautiful 195s at Oshkosh and Sun ‘n Fun. About 17 years ago, my husband and I finally got our own N9895A. It is truly a part of the family.
