Coast, there ain't too much danger of us collidin'. I be flyin' the
GAPA for the same reasons you'uns is flyin' the Cherokee - money,
'ceptin' I be at the opposite end of the age spectrum from you'uns.

Well, I know where one is on the West Coast: I saw it there on 2001 and
it seems to be still there. However, as of 2011 Wikipedia thinks there
are another four in the US: does anybody know where they all are?

And, for a subsidiary question, have any of them got the full windscreen,
running from the nose nacelle to the wing LE, that is shown in a photo of
a Poland-based example?

Two of them were in Palm Beach Florida area a few years ago. One was
owned by the Barrys. I was hoping to fly that one, but they never got
the paperwork straightened out.

This is my favorite thread, perhaps ever.

That's a good guess, but
Nah, the GAPA Geezer ain't nothin' but if he ain't modest.
He'd never dare compare hisself to the immortal Pez D Spencer.
Pez is in a whole 'nother league, but haven't heard much out
of him lately.
