See Jay, Size DOES matter. :-) Mary telling you any different doesn't count! P.S. It's not just the girth...the length (of the cabin) is also something to envy. As is the second door (which passengers don't have to climb up on the wing to get into) and the front baggage compartment. Admit it Jay, you have Piper envy. No, no, no, Ray. Only Cezzzna drivers have Piper envy! ;-) About twice a year I would really, really like a Six. Oshkosh and Sun N Fun, basically. The other 98 flights, hauling that pig around would truly be wasted on our little family. Jay, probably 2/3rds of my flights are solo in the Six. Yeah, it is pulling around a lot of airframe to do that, but still cheaper than owning another airplane. Yup, I'm spoiled. Worth the 15% extra fuel burn to me. |

Jay, Just think, with a Six, you could take not only your "small" family, but also bring bikes for everyone (might even fit small non-folding bikes in) as well as a change or two of clothes. Betcha can't get four folding bikes into Atlas along with you, Mary and the kids. |

Heh, "My Piper is bigger than yours". Never thought I'd ever say that...
This weekend we're taking it to a nearby airport to have a GNS430W put in. Our journey to the dark side will then be complete... "Ray Andraka" wrote in message ...

I think Joe and Becca may be flying separately from J&M in the "truck"
this year. Remember J's lament about how "full" Atlas was going to last year's AirVenture? And there is always the "shipping home" of the dirty laundry to make room for the new acquisitions. I think it'll be a few years before Joe tackles OSH. He's only flown three times since he got his ticket last November, due to weather and scheduling issues, so he's not at the top of his game anymore. Although I flew with him last weekend, and he did fine. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

Now that I think about it, I've got a great plane for taking on OSH. Round
up a couple guys to split fuel. Tons of gear on board. Shoot, I could make it there & back without refueling. Maybe this is the year...

Maybe this is the year... That it is. I brought mine last year for the first time (1965 PA-32-260) with two of my sons, and nearly a half ton of camping gear and provisions, including a 130 can cooler filled with ice water, drinks and refrigerated food, and 4 cases of bottled water (each weighing 41 lbs). Yeah, we over-packed just a bit. Hope to be there again this year. We'll see you there maybe...Oh, and make sure you attend Jay's pool party the saturday before OSH! I went some 400nm out of my way for it (coming from New England), and will do it again. |

I went some 400nm out of my way for it (coming from New England), and will do it again. We just watched EAA's new video, showing Airventure, and I almost started to cry. Twenty-five years of only good memories... We start dreaming about Oshkosh in January each year, and the excitement just builds incrementally until I can barely stand it by the last week of July. It truly is the greatest show on earth... Hope to see y'all there! -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |
