Well, how about it? What did everyone buy for their plane, or for your
renting planes, this year at OSH?

Well, the Flying Tigers portrait is gonna look nice in the Flying
Tigers Suite. But Montblack, or Paul-Mont, hasn't delivered our
bundle of J-3 Cub ribs yet... (We always buy ribs at the FlyMart, for
use as "art" around the hotel.)

Seriously, this was the first year I bought absolutely nothing for the
plane. Not so much as a landing light. First time in 9 years of
ownership.

Funny, the only thing I bought for my plane was a landing light
(burned out on the way in). I've got it on the market now, so I'm
trying to limit my purchases until I figure out what I'll be flying
next. Lots of airplanes to look at though, fortunately I didn't leave
with more planes than I arrived with.

Going bigger or smaller?

I guess bigger is all relative. I'm going from the warbird to
something that is more useable for family transportation. Gross weight
might actually go down, but interior capacity will have to go way up.
I have to sell the current plane before really looking at anything
different. My long list of candidates includes 182, 210, Lance,
Cherokee Six, 206, SR20/22, Seneca, Malibu (all depends on whether it
is a partnership or an outright purchase). Probably one of the more
schitzophrenic lists of possible aircraft. My wife favors the Malibu,
but that depends on finding 2 or 3 partners who want the same plane.
