Funny thing was, after riding for 20 years, off and on at times, I would
occasionally get the bug a by an old bike for $1200.
whatever was available, I bought it just because I had to ride.

You know what I realized? They are ALL good.

True Dave...I'd be happy with a nice C-172, Cherokee, whatever. So long
as I can afford it and it's in decent condition, I'll take it.
When I finally get my private license I don't think I would ever want to get
wrapped up in what is best. I'd be looking forward to what is next.

Definitely agree. Whatever is next is what I'm after. I started out
researching Cardinals and I really like them. My partnership morphed
into a potential Cherokee deal and I was happy with that prospect. The
change to an Arrow is even better. I'm really after my first complex
single so whether the wing is on the top or bottom, it's all logs as
complex time.


I will say this though, I am training in a high wing, but I expect a low
wing in my future, perhaps a Tiger. I can't wait for the transition.


I found the transition to an Archer for my instrument lessons to be a
nice change. As my CFI from my PPL days once told me, anytime you get a
chance to fly something new/different, take advantage of the opportunity.
