We just spent about $200k on the 182, which is a 1998 model.

Sorry for hijacking, but I have to ask: what has to be done on a not yet
10 year old airplane that cost 200k? Wouldn't it be more wise to buy
into a new (maybe jet/diesel) aircraft like a Diamond? I don't know the
details and you for sure made your homework before spending the 200k.

on topic: I flew out of CHD/Chandler and rented at Sunbird. They sold
their business, don't know if they are still around; IIRC they are a
Cessna-something training center.
I second the statements on location regarding CHD; you're below Class B,
quick out of all the big iron (to the South) but still close to all the
amenities, both in the air and on the ground.
Is the Satan freeway already done and close by CHD?
