222SP

Haven't flown one in 12 years but I liked it. Steam gauges, 4 axis autopilot, lycoming engines. We flew ours (we had 2) around 800 hours per year and with a good proactive mechanic we had few problems...relatively speaking.

I imagine parts are getting scarce and operating costs are high these days but I did enjoy flying it. Of course now I've been spoiled by newer, more technologically advanced aircraft, but for the time it was more than adequate.
