The Great Australian Cringe makes me sick.
I fly a GA 8 in Alaska and it is one of the best airplanes for that place. Good range, gets into small strips, comfortable, quiet, and the best view for the punters of any airplane I have flown in. I did 4 hours last week in the back and was really impressed with the quiet, smooth, comfortable ride. The view all around was superb, and the scenery spectacular.
But to listen to an Aussie (and I am one, but not a basher of my country like so many) the GA 8 is rubbish.
As if things don't break on a Cessna?
