quite frankly I'm scared i think when i can financially, I will lease or buy a used Piper for my local east coast flying, though I'm allergic to mountains and large bodies of water... night is nice though, wx is very calm here usually. right now due to personal considerations I don't fly at all pax or pilot...hate it
