That's the goofiest thing I've read here in a long time.



It's not about speed it's about the landing gear lever.


Which is understandable with a high performance plane. But a Cardinal
or an Arrow? Please. Those are toy planes. There's no prestige in
either of those.

Prestige requires burning kerosene.

Heh. We had a guest this weekend who arrived in a Pilatus. We spoke
at length about the aircraft, but the thing he was most impressed with
was the "economy" of flying a Pilatus, as it "only" cost $565/hour to
operate...

Thus proving that EVERYTHING is relative...

Yummy!

Have you ever calculated what it costs to operate Atlas, per hour, including
everything?
