"OMIGOD Walter, our baby's been brainwashed and abducted by some cult! DO SOMETHING!"I don't think this is what your parents imagine you are doing when you told them, I'm now working in the aircraft industry…

I can actually tell that she's probably double jointed...
Asked my mom about this, since she's Japanese and probably about the same age as these people.
That cabin looks an awful lot like a Cessna 120 or 140. Stall horn sounds like it too. They have a reputation of being notoriously hard to land gracefully due to their short-coupled fuselage and springy landing gear. She pulled off a real smoothie in the old "pogo stick"! I've been a hapless hostage aboard several "pogo passes" down the runway while the plane's new owner tried to wrestle it on to the ground intact....and to keep things on subject...
She's so, "yeah, I'm a pilot."
Serves me right for watching the video on a tiny cellphone screen! A detail I totally missed. The Stinson was so docile, they called it "the station wagon". Now that smooth landing looks more like routine and less like a tremendous accomplishment.So, according to the giant chrome "STINSON" signature on the dash, do you think they wanted us to think she's flying a Stinson, when it was actually a Cessna?...why those rascals!
The station wagon was a version of the 108-3 that included a hatch and cargo area behind the seats. I understand not all 108's had that feature, only the station wagons.Serves me right for watching the video on a tiny cellphone screen! A detail I totally missed.
