See Jay, Size DOES matter. :-) Mary telling you any different
doesn't count!

P.S. It's not just the girth...the length (of the cabin) is also
something to envy. As is the second door (which passengers don't
have to climb up on the wing to get into) and the front baggage
compartment. Admit it Jay, you have Piper envy.



No, no, no, Ray. Only Cezzzna drivers have Piper envy!

;-)

About twice a year I would really, really like a Six. Oshkosh and Sun
N Fun, basically.

The other 98 flights, hauling that pig around would truly be wasted on
our little family.



Jay, probably 2/3rds of my flights are solo in the Six. Yeah, it is
pulling around a lot of airframe to do that, but still cheaper than
owning another airplane. Yup, I'm spoiled. Worth the 15% extra fuel
burn to me.


One could always fly slower to get the fuel burn closer to a 4-pax
airplane, but does anyone every really do this?
