Hi,

Currently Flying or have flown in the last 6 months

Cessna 150/152/Aerobat
PA28-180R
PA-34 (Seneca 1)
PA-44 (Turbo Seminole with no anti icing!?!)
PA38-112
PA28-140
PA28-161
PA28-181

On the Cessna/Piper debate, no contest in my opinion .. Cessna 150/152 is too small (from a cabin point of view), underpowered and too slow so that if theres any kind of wind at all it takes donkeys years to get anywhere. It also doesnt inspire confidence in nervous students/pax.. maybe its acase of being very tinny and high wing. Aslo the visibility out of a cessna is awful.. cant see where you're going in a turn!
Give me a Piper anyday (140/161/181 excellent training platforms)(with the exception of the Traumahawk which I always feel is taking me to the scene of the accident!!!)

Want to Fly:

Anything like Firefly 260 or aerobatic machine!!
