has taken me a lot of places safely and has never missed a mission since
some early engine problems were fixed a few years ago. She'll carry 600
lbs. of payload at 155 mph for a looonnngg time. Every time I start to
put the ad in Trade-A-Plane, something makes me back off. Some day I'll
do it - no, really, I will.


A decently equipped C-172RG is a damned nice airplane... I always think of a
wasp as those gear start folding up on climbout. Don't worry about sexy... only
a moron would look down on one.

Congrats on the 1000 hours accident-free. Keep up the good work.
