Carlsbad indeed.


Are you flying with Pinnacle? I rented there last fall and really liked
the outfit. Very professional. First place I've seen to turn away a
prospective renter after the non-satisfactory check-out (another
German, not very fluent in English and neither, it seemed, in Cessnas).

Their DA-40 isn't much more expensive than the new 172s, if you factor
in the higher speed - and it is a world apart. I'd recommend making the
transition as soon as possible, if only because flying different types
tremendously widens a pilot's horizon. Also, the visibility out of the
"flying bubble" will blow you away, pure and simple.

I might be coming back next fall...
