What I wanted Piper Ceo Bass to say...
Jay,
How? Mooney and Columbia are faster than your number, all modern
airframes are way more comfortable.
I'm with you on Columbia -- but MOONEY?
The Acclaim is faster. I didn't mention Mooney in relation to comfort.
Couldn't. Wouldn't. ;-)
From the 1940s through the 1960s, more pilots trained in the Piper Cub
than any other aircraft.
Ok, I guess.
Why? The Cherokee airframe is draggy in many obvious ways.
Yes, but it is not obvious how to get rid of the drag without building a
new plane.
And there you go into a new certification.
Hey, I can dream, can't I?
Not that much, if you're trying to write a quasi-realistic speech for
Bass.
Uhm, no.
What would Cessna have to offer in competition?
The NGP.
I'd really like your comment on the sales numbers. When I looked them up
at GAMA, I was kind of shocked to see how low they were. 5 (!) Arrows sold
in all of 2006! Piper is even more dead than I thought.
