HT,

I operated a 109AII for 9 years, which is now on the bottom of the Pacific, along with the ship taking it to North America When it was sold, a weight lifted from my shoulders.

We averaged 300 hours per year, but it was labour intensive in maintenance hours, and never made money as a charter machine. Fast (sometimes), fun to fly (short trips only, seating's awful), attractive lines, leaks oil constantly - all in all, Italian
