Enough!

I have been quietly watching all this discussion about images, storage space and flying, posting.

Now this puts it all together for me. Might not work for you:

These are airframes that are over 50 years old and in daily service.

The Prevost of the air?

Now I feel much better, thank you.

Leave it to Jeff to bring in the heavy hardware and put everyone in their place.


I guess this is one for the high wing guys.

You saw it here first....

And you thought it would be a Bonanza picture.....:rolleyes:

I found this picture of a typical Bonanza pilot in AOPA mag. Looks small enough to fit in a Mooney....no the offical hat would hit the roof.

Ken,

Even a technoilliterate like Mike can post a photo and all you can do is the red X?

Those Mooney pilots.........

Pot? Kettle?

One guy whose tail is on backwards, one guy missing a piece of tail, both with the wings in the wrong place.

I think this is a cool pic. We hauled some firefighting equipment to Algeria in this bad boy. You can ask about the cockpit smell at the rally.....

That's how JW is going to get his bus to OSH this summer.
Very cool.

I love it. A high wing plane, just like they were supposed to be.:D

And if you look at it from the front the tail kinda "Vees". How sweet is that? And I also noticed that all the slow (read here cargo / Cessna type) planes have the wing on top. What's up with that?

"Vees" my butt. That is wishful thinking.

I don't talk about Cessnas that have wings anywhere except on the roof.:D

Don't worry. If I had a choice of piston twins, I would be in the 500S Shrike Commander. If it's good enough for Bob Hoover, it is good enough for me.

I heard Cessna is looking to build a new single engine plane. Wonder where the wing will be on that one?

Where it belongs, on the roof.

The reality is that it doesn't matter because except for small subtle differences planes fly alike. The one thing that I think is a universally held opinion is that the Bo is the sweetest flying plane in the world and lands so nice it makes every pilot lok like the ace of the place.

But now that I have praised your plane you have to acknowledge in a pouring down rain us Cessna pilots stand under the wing, fold our jackets and casually get into our planes, able to sit on a dry seat. Then we look across the ramp and watch the low wing folks standing in the rain to climb in their planes single file so the copilot can sit in a rain puddle.

This is going to make for a good debate at the POG.
