How many aircraft owner's and pilot's have hit there state's lotto, because I just don't understand where people get the money and time to even attempt a project like that, I mean everybody can't be a doctor and lawyer or Indian chief -what's the secret -I've worked harder then most and I'm 57 yrs old -done better then alot of people -but still can't even afford a mid 60s 172 w/a o-300 in it, I have a little 150 and need to upgrade on account of my size-if I have a 160 lb passenger I got to stop every hour and a half for fuel- that get's you no where -I can us a car and get there faster, not near the view but faster anyways -someone share the secret, loxahcefig@gmail.com THANK'S or if you know any deals on a older(as described earlier) 172

Are they not a good plane -or there just isn't a lot of them around anymore? It Look's like a well designed Aircraft to me -twin turbines and all -actually looks like a lot more plane for the money then a king air -I know that will start a bunch of bickering -I understand they are not really in the same category -I'm just saying I have been in the beach king -and there is no dought it is KING- only good goly what a price tag -anyone that has flown one or both, please elaborate -just out of curiosity -thanks -you can even shot a E-MAIL to loxahcefig@gmail.com thank you all -who enjoy flying, riding, and talking about Aircraft -if your like me -it's in your blood and you even like working on them -to a certain extent, not so much if it's a major malfunction -I have a tiny 150 and it's hard to to keep it in the sky -but that is a whole other story -THANK'S AGAIN

Another fine Aircraft to make the trip in -no dought this plane is a world shaker -no limits, anywhere you feel like go'in -only thing that will stop you -and your thinking whether but that isn't it because you can always go over, or around it -what stops you is your money to buy fuel -I love the plane, been in one the outfit I'm with has one and it's a beautiful bird, and there isn't no end to the avionics in the panel, if I ever hit the big money lotto -it would be the aircraft I would buy -I envy anyone who get's to enjoy that kind'a freedom -if you own one then it's like you own the world

I'd take a F -15 -18 -anything ride and pay for it in the simulator And be one happy camper, but at least get away with about 45 minutes then I would be happy -I would like to do a simulated carrier's landing on a Nimitz class aircraft carrier, that would be worth about anything to me -come on military guy's hook a bud up -I'll trade you unlimited c150 time in North to Central FL, waynearnold12@yahoo.com I'm a waiting -probably along time right -yea I know - Roger on the alpha, foxtrot, uniform

Ya gotta love that fire, and the thrust vecturing tail nozzles -I look at that and look at a old sopwith camel with all of it's 90 up and radial engine spinning, with all that P -factor -an in a short 100 yrs they have a beast of the sky like that -yes it is truly a reincarnation of the monster it represents, what will they be saying in another 100 yrs I wish I could be here

They seem to be basically a Debonair with just a longer epanage and a V- tail -I have flown a Debonair it is a very stable aircraft -which most should all be so long as it is a balanced load -but by just a general statement I would say the Debonair is a good flying plane -can anyone tell story's about flying the Bonanza with the V- tail -give it a rating for those of us who have never been behind the yoke of the Bonanza V-tail, touchy feely I had a pilot say before to me -hard to tell what he meant when he said that, so let us know Thank you,

Real Good days gone away, and such uncertain one's that followed -and still think I'm following those day's

I would be scared to park a broken down unicycle in Tavares FL,for the simple fact that when you get back your go'in to have about 5 Tickets from there fine asophers in uniform,and I know how it goes, there's always go'in to be a few bad light's in the chandelier-that makes the whole thing look bad-and I do agree -the "officer's" in booking seemed to treat you with a amount of respect,that you would usually only get if you called them to the scenic of an accident-anyways the plane is a perfect piece of history, and to me a more practical design for any aircraft built,sure you have the exception to the rule,but the more plane's that can fill a double role the better.it's just common since and especially in a place like central FL with all the lake's rivers and inland water way's -those plane's are still in service (I think) in Miami for Caulks they had three operating right into the mid 80s if I remember right, Daily trip's to several spots in the Bahamas -they served alot of the smaller island's directly from the boat ramps, just double check under your windscreen,or you might find a police boat in high speed pursuit on your take off run -or in my case both, the great city of Tavares-and those that say they serve and protect-they protect there job's by serving you a ticket, and they will write you plenty, and they could care less if it flew out the window at 6000 ft, or the wind blows it off your plane,car,scooter,or bike-that brave bunch in Brown it doesn't scare them, they will call in reinforcements and then you will have 10 two tone Brown FHP car's after your Grumman -if it happens just keep flying that is way to nice a bird -wish I had the little LSA that's built in Sebring, has the 912 Rotax Sharpe little plane -well Good luck, and great picture -send more
