Lew,
Don't let them fool you, IFR stands for "I follow Roads".
No plane now Jerry, sold my Arrow last year getting ready for the freekin bus,
sniffle, sniffle... Not in Jon's league, I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy..
Hey, whats wrong with 120 mph, 500' AGL smashing bugs while able to set down in a field at a moments notice to pee? Had a ride two weeks ago, I'll get over it!
Here's my list of ownership and happy times with the favorite at the bottom:
Cherokee 180 (2)
Cherokee 6
Cessna 182
Cardinal
Tiger
Arrow
Apache
Twin Comanche
Aztec
Baron
Debonair (best of all)
Jon, guess the days of needle, ball, airspeed are over. Thank God for technology.
