Hi there. My name is Jason McDowell, and I run the @cessnateur Instagram, an ongoing study researching obscure aircraft design and aviation history. Thanks for being here!

I enjoy seeking out lesser-known artifacts/stories from the world of aviation and aircraft design. As a newly-published writer and photographer, I'm presently saving for a Cessna 140A or (ideally) a 170B.

But as the value of the latter is currently on par with that of actual gold bullion, I'm finding that it's taking many years to reach my dream.

If you have gotten some enjoyment out of my daily Instagram posts over the past few years and would like to say thanks and help me get into the air, I've set this page up to speed the process along.

But donation or not, thanks so much for being here at all. It's been a really fun ride.
