Cessna builds quantity
Beech builds quality
Piper builds junk

Ah, the old Ford vs Chevy argument again. Sound and fury,
signifying...nothing


I've owned two Pipers as well. N4201Z, N7474D

One, I picked up brand new at the factory in Loch Haven. There I went
through the factory and shook William Piper's hand. I also had a brand new
private pilot's certificate in my pocket with 43 hours TT.

I wouldn't mind driving a 1963 1/2 Ford Fairlane 500 with the 427 engine
either.

There is no doubt that Beech builds to a much higher quality than Cessna,
Piper. That's why they sell so many King Airs.
