See this one for sale, Cdn dollars...I know this aircraft and it is
in great shape. The company also has others for sale. http://www.aviatorsale.com/aix446/ Joe Hine Yes, that is the TBMs I was referring to. If someone wants to buy them and continue to operate them as retardant tankers and needs a pilot, call me Ron Pilot/Wildland Firefighter |

- Historic value (rare and interesting aircraft)
- Reasonably easy to fly - No turbines and under 12,500 lbs (no type rating needed) - Seats two - Aerobatic - Easy on the eyes Cessna O2 (C337) All but aerobatic. Not too rare, though. And "easy on the eyes" is in the eyes of the beholder. Gerd |

Or harder to fly than : "normal"? I'm curious as to how the conclusion was reached - it's certainly harder to fly than a Cessna 152, but not nearly as hard to fly as the space shuttle. I'm assuming he compared them to aircraft contemporary with the P-51 since he used the word "vintage". Was it harder to fly than the P-39? the 39 has some tough spin characteristics. Other than the 51 being somewhat less stable when the aft gas tank was full, I don't know of any other difficult characteristics. Just curious what he meant by "harder". I've read three things. The p51 is unstable in pitch with full tanks and the resulting aft CG, and that a p51 has a high speed stall that's tougher than most other WWII fighters. And finally the p51 has a higher stall speed than other contemporary fighters. I myself have no idea, and will defer to people with actual knowledge. But this is the scuttle-butt around this household. |

"Gregg Germain" THREE guys? Wow I'm impressed. Was one in the nose? ;^) I couldn't belive it either until I saw the three of them get out. One of them couldn't see out. Ed |
