Default Cherokee 235 vs Trinidad vs Comanche

Bob,

Kind of like a 1976 warrior vs a
1991 warrior, pretty much the same airplane.


For you, maybe. For others, there are 15 years of flexing and corroding
metal, 15 years of hard landings, 15 years of the stench of sweat,
vomit and whatever else. And coming back to the Bo vs. Trinidad
discussion: There's 40plus years of design and ergonomics, too.

For some, the above doesn't matter. For some, it does. That's why new
Cessnas that aren't really new from the perspective you take sell
pretty well.
