Hey, Jay, did you mention that you were one of two 235's? (grinning).
I have my sources, even though I didn't attend... Actually, there were four 235s entered in the judging. (And apparently some others that the owners didn't want judged.) The 235 is not a common breed. Last year the CPA (Cherokee Pilots Association) had 235s and 236s (Dakotas) combined into a single class for competition, which made it a LOT tougher. The Dakota that won last year was a late-model aircraft with a $50K glass panel. (It's actually for sale now -- for something like $170K.) This year they split the competition into several more classes (For example, early model Cherokee 180s were in a separate class from Archers this year, etc.) which made the classes a bit smaller, and the competition a lot more fair. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |
