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. --Walt Bozeman, Montana |

Do you miss flying large aircraft? -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |

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. --Walt |

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! |

It sure demonstrates the threat GA poses to exclude it from the ADIZ FRZ...
