reappears right where it was originally. When the runway disappears is
a good time to look the other direction for the King Air zipping toward
the same piece of asphalt.

I can see where short people have a forward visibility problem,
although cranking the seat up helps some. For us tall people, the
headroom is great. I can barely sit in a Commanchee with headsets on,
and the Cherokee was pretty limited too.

The 182 does handle like a truck, but that's kind-of-nice sometimes,
too.

I hear that a lot, but I find the 67 Arrow I fly now to be just as
trucky as the 182. It is a little lighter in pitch, but the rudders are
stiffer. Roll is comparable.

I also prefer the vernier controls to the quadrant controls in the Piper.
