Got this litttle catalog with my Ebay PT-19 QZ
Figured I'd scan and post this little catalog that was included with my Ebay PT-19. I'm pretty sure that it's been listed before, but just in case someone would like checking it out, here it is:

Re: Got this litttle catalog with my Ebay PT-19 QZ
Whenever I see these old yellowish COX catalogue sheets or receive a very old but still NIB COX from an ebay seller I also have this nostalgia for an era that I - living a continent away - have never been part of, yet I have always been longing to have been there with you guys when you were kids there and I was a kid here and you and I both had the first experience with a COX engine -mine was super-accidental, given the geographical and geopolitical distance of the (then) Hungary. I am always wondering how this world where COX was alive and producing the engines and planes, cars etc. we hold in our hands many decades afterwards could be revived.
I know this is just a daydream and we all must be happy to have COX International, ebay, CEF and all the like around.
Sorry for the emotional entry to this topic.

Re: Got this litttle catalog with my Ebay PT-19 QZ
No need for apologies here...this is a sentiment express by a lot of guys on this forum.
The irony is that when we're young, many of us longed to be somewhere else or situation. L.M. Cox was my doorway to aviation and all the great stuff that followed, but once I had come close to mastering the little trainer, I wanted to move on. Now, I find myself scratching to get back there!
It was a great time anyway, and I count myself severely lucky to had been given this gift back then, and STILL being able to enjoy it now.

That is true...what a terrible physician I would have become, had I not met that post-stamp backplate 049 in '74 that turned me into an engineer...quite a number of people have survived thanks to this rare encounter.
