Good lord, that can't be good for the TBO.

Well, he's going full blast at 16,500 ft. TAS is 182KTS, GS 169KTS.
...

Pretty impressive considering that, apparently, no one is sitting in the
front seats...

You wouldn't see the pilot's knees, and his hands are off the yoke while the
A/P is on and he's taking the pictures.

Amazing, it is a 'for sale' ad.

Yeah. I guess the 182 KTAS is cool, but my impression is that the bird has
been "rode hard." No thanks.

But you know what... I'd rather buy an aircraft that has been 'rode
hard', but flies 300 hours a year, than an aircraft that has been babied
and does less than 50 hours a year...

Oh, sure.

But by "rode hard" I meant "abused."

Second that.

Note, too, what John Deakin wrote about WOTLOPSOP.

There was a BEAUTIFUL 206 for sale last year @ ANE.
(NEWPS parked his Bo in the same hangar)

It was his father's for years. When the older ($ucce$$ful) son got the plane
he redid EVERYTHING - from stem to stern, and flew it for a few more years.
Talk about a plane being babied.

Anyway, wasn't there a very good thread (maybe 7 years ago) about why NOT to
buy a small turbo'd single? IIRC, it discussed associated costs vs.
performance differences. The average flatlander flights took an even greater
beating by the numbers.

That said, contact Cary M, from these newsgroups (he's @ ANE) and ask him
about his (Diesel) D-42 Twin Star's numbers. It too is turbo'd. He's looking
for (1) partner up here in Minnesota.

Cary M:

....or e-mail me for his phone #.

BTW, that whole teenage mistress thing has a better shot for you, in a sleek
new twin.

Of course, that whole teenage mistress thing has a better shot with Orlando
Bloom, in an Ercoupe.

Yikes. Now I'm getting "urges!" :-)

The question for pilots "of a certain age" is, "Can I keep a teenage mistress
*and* my medical?"

You've got higher goals than me. I'd be happy
if I could order a kid's meal and a beer at
the same time :-)
