Default Cherokee Kid Congratulations

Our own, Tony Condon, aka The Cherokee Kid today passed his initial
Part 135 checkride with the FAA flying the Cessna 421. For
comparison, the 421 weighs approximately 10 times more than the
Cherokee II, lands faster than the Cherokee's redline, and has two 375
hp engines for self launch capability while the Cherokee of course
needs a tow. The Cherokee has almost double the best L/D of the 421
though!

Good job Tony,

MM
