Whenever i think of 50s and 60s aircraft and older that are almost forgotten the first one is beech sundowner/musketeer, its tough and sometimes unreliable for the most part... 

"Weight and balance issues may be one and so is speed, or lack of it. Owners are stoic about that; it just allows a little more flying time." 

It looks just like a few of the older piper warrior/Cherokee etc. which makes a lot of people just think that its some sort of old and rare Cherokee Six or something, i love the shape but hate the flaws...but that's just everyone's opinion...its the one major flaw of the C23 unfortunately....some sit dormant, some fly...I don't know why after looking at all that data, its still almost a forgotten aircraft...

some aircraft you can tell are so, soo, soo well remembered but have barely a flaw yet the aforementioned sundowner on occasion gets left behind because no one wants to hear about them and thinks they are just pipers in disguise..!!!

I have never sat in one or ever been on one!!\

Lets make this not ever end up forgotten for good!!
