A Couple of Short Stories
That 421B was an aesthetic ship with its elliptical windows, long nacelles, and
curvilinear tip tanks.
What was the cruise speed ?
My Dad got his license at 70 yrs. old and bought a nice 182.
I mostly jumped out of 182's, rather than fly them.
Some of those 182's were so decrepit-looking that I was glad they made it to altitude so I could get out of them ! More than one had duck tape on the wing tips
or leading edges of the horizontal stabilizer !
I bet you don't know many who have hitchhiked on aircraft ?
I've hitchhiked on a Cessna 421, Piper Aztec, Cessna 310, Cessna 172 and Beech KingAir.
Fun and adventurous.
Airplanes!! Oh GAWD!! Gawd, not Airplanes!!
Okay, okay, (pant, pant pant) I am NOT going to sidetrack myself anymore than I already have to tell any airplane stories or talk airplanes.
The Socata looks like a real sweet machine.
I’ve had two Cessna’s... a 182T and a 421B.
Flying is F-U-N!!!
