I had a set of those clamps  (Vice Grips) once but I found a buyer.

My dad wanted me to learn to fly before I learned to drive and had already 
arranged my lessons.  That was a long time ago and light planes didn't appeal to 
me at all.  As you say lots of noise and painfully slow.  i was more interested 
in ham radio, fast cars and girls.  Dad learned to fly at a small dirt airstrip 
in Benson, AZ in 1946.  (I still have his log book)  His instructor was a guy 
named Neil S. "Skeet" Taylor.

Fast forward 75 years.  I have a close neighbor, Nelson, (1/4 mile away is close 
in my neighborhood) who I knew was a pilot, but I didn't know him well at all.  
Last New Years Eve another neighbor hosted a party and Nelson was there. We 
struck up a conversation, mostly about his flying  (he's a pro).  I mentioned 
that my late father had a private license, but since we were poor he didn't fly 
much and I was never interested.

When I  happened to mention the name Skeet Taylor, a strange look came over 
Nelson's face. I stopped what I was saying and in a low voice Nelson said, 
"Skeet Taylor was my stepdad."  Small world.
