What was the used whip's length?

I missed this post...

The used whip is 44 1/4 in. in length.

Was this including the coil or was it the whip portion of the antenna by itself? This length would make this in the 126 mHz range which is in the Aviation band.

Door stickers are on! Now just need front light mounts and interior equipment, and she's all set!
