Heh. Know what a Flight Design CT looks like? Not much snob appeal
there. :)

My teenage daughter thinks it's "cute".

That being said, the next brand new airplane I buy will be a CT. My big
iron, IFR days (KC135) are long behind me, and the CT fits my mission
profile nowadays, which is pretty much day VFR flying around Montana.
If I had 90 large ones laying around I'd buy one in a heartbeat.

If you had the means, would you go out and buy some big iron to fly,
or would you still stick with a small aircraft? Do you miss flying
large aircraft?

Miss it? In a way. But probably not in the way that you may think.
People on this list who have flown in the military probably know what I
mean. And, I have two good friends, both retired, who flew 757's and
747's for an airline. After a day of flying we have fun talking about
those days over a few beers. But, one flies a Huskie and the other
flies a restored Waco. THAT is flying.

But, fly those big things for fun? No. If I had the means I'd still be
flying a small aircraft.

A local friend of mine retired from United as #1 bid. He now flies a
RV-8 and a Baron and says that he never realized how much he hated the
airline job! He is having a ball!

Cuter than a bug.

I used to feed a P Baron, this looks positively affordable.

And about the same size, too, from the looks of the photos.

You mean this photo? It sure demonstrates the threat GA poses to
exclude it from the ADIZ FRZ... The CT looks like it'll eat you up and
spit you out. ;-)
