No such thing as a silly question…
Someone once asked me why I had 2 airplanes. “Because I can’t afford 3” was my answer….,
And the Turbine Commander was was one of my favorite airplanes to fly. Great airplane.
Buying outdated/unmoded/previous software equipment has always been an issue. We always checked status when ordering in my work life..
Like the guy who woke from a coma after 35 years and the first thing he did was run to a pay phone to call his broker and check on his investment account. “Your balance is 5.6 million dollars” said...
With every mod and STC I could find! :)
Yep. Bob, everyone knows how you feel about cub mods, light cubs, etc… Just because you think they fly better light doesn’t mean everyone agrees with that line of thought. I’m one that doesn’t agree,...

Another thing that the good old USA is all about is people having diverse opinions, and respecting each other for that….
Ha ha! I get it, I guess I’m just showing my age. Back in “the day” when we wanted to try something cool, we did our best to make sure NOBODY saw us…. Today, it’s just the opposite..��
