I liked the Pioneer 400. 4 seats, CSU, retract, 125 kt on Rotax 912S, same range and payload as a 172, under $200K. Too bad the roof is too low for me!

Good to put some faces to names, but not enough time to catch up. Even skipped the sold-out awards dinner; I had a complimentary ticket, but the rest of my crew didn't and as we were all shattered anyway we phoned some pizza and beers to be delivered to our house. Conversation ranged from the DC-3 war stories by "Uncle Pete" to Japanese toilets. ("They are really warm, so you know it isn't just residual ass heat") Early night, then early morning to fly the Sporty home in a 10-15 kt head wind.

Didn't see too much of the show for obvious reasons!
