Cherokee Kid Congratulations
Our own, Tony Condon, aka The Cherokee Kid today passed his initial
Part 135 checkride with the FAA flying the Cessna 421. For comparison, the 421 weighs approximately 10 times more than the Cherokee II, lands faster than the Cherokee's redline, and has two 375 hp engines for self launch capability while the Cherokee of course needs a tow. The Cherokee has almost double the best L/D of the 421 though! Good job Tony, MM

Cherokee Kid Congratulations
thanks guys,
amazingly ive found several comparisons between flying the 421 and the cherokee. being able to eyeball my approach angle and get a fair assesment of my energy available based on altitude and speed based on feel are definite skills that i honed in glider flying that have come in very handy with the pressurized turbocharged twin. The thing is a bitch to derig if you land out though. you thought the IS28-B2 Lark had heavy wings!!
