Well, we just had a guest this past weekend who was on his way back from
Vero Beach with a brand, new Piper Archer.

Glass cockpit and everything.

HE had no complaints -- yet.

;-)

Heh. Back in '94, the owner of Land's End store, and his son, showed up
in their brand new, 40 hours on the tach, Piper Super Cub. The cowl was
chaffing on the exhaust, there was a small oil leak, and a few other
problems that anyone who has worked on Cubs for the last 50 years would
be familiar with.

A few years later, a guy shows up in a brand new Beech Baron 58. As
we're admiring the aircraft, chatting with the owner, I notice that
there is a relief tube in the front. He says "Heck, that's about the
only thing on this piece of crap that *hasn't* broken yet!

Happy Flying!
