Now there's a gruesome combination of old and new gd&r

Thomas,

They say that nothing succeeds like success.

I figure if you marry a reliable airframe (Skyhawk) with the best avionics
(ok, the jury may still be out on this...) you are putting a plus with a
plus.

I don't need (nor want) to get anywhere at near the speed of sound at some
unbeliveably high flight level.

All I would be looking for is a reliable aircraft and a system by which I
can garner the most information regarding my heading, altitude and airspeed
in as easy a manner as possible.

Know the pilot, know the mission. Hence, the Garmin 1000 equipped Skyhawk.

Sure you say that now, but you may eventually find yourself wanting to go
20% or 30% faster, or carrying more than 2 people with full fuel.

Your mission will change over time.

Morris,

Fair enough, but the OP said if I won the AOPA Twin today...

Today, my mission criteria still stand. Over time is a relative
term...we'll see where it leads!
