Karl "Curator" N185KG And as far as that goes, try to find a NEW airplane that will carry more, further, faster, and into more un-improved strips than the 54 year old Cessna Skywagon. Nada! The Cirrus is nice, but it's kind of a "girly man" airplane.(With respects to Arnold!) Karl |

Yep, too bad they're still building 40 year old airplanes. ![]() Yes my instructor and I where just finishing a flight in my 61 BE35 (getting my IFR rating). He looks over at me and goes this plane still holds its own against all the new planes. The biggest difference GPS. I would still rather have an aluminum plane over a composite, an if it was an A36 I would say its better than a Cirrus. The only thing Beechcraft needs to do is lower the price on the Bonanza and the Baron and they would sell a bunch of them. I have had quite a few flight in a King Air lately and its a nice solid plane and you really feel safe in it, but I personally would buy something else. The gas and upkeep on that thing is crazy.
