I sold out about 2 years too soon!! Those guys are killing it! Dealerships have never been so profitable!! But, who would have imagined a virus and free money and a chip shortage from DC causing this result??

I had my 182Q insured for $75,000 for several years, I just bumped it to $150,000! It’s crazy what stuff is selling for, cars, trucks, boats, houses and yes airplanes! With the high rate of inflation, I don’t see things going down until we have a crash of some sort. But, even if we get a 25%...

They painted my 182 a few hundred years ago and did a good job, the color was wrong, but it looked good!!

I seem to remember a thread a few years back about a company in Alabama that the plane owners wasn’t very happy. I’m not sure if it is the same company, but I wish you good luck getting it resolved. No matter what anyone promises, it takes 6-8 weeks to get one painted. Mine was promised in 4...

Looks “tippy”

Was I the only one that opened this thread thinking it was about flying to Seattle or some other WOKE area of the country?? :eek:

Happy Birthday!!

My wife thinks cleaning the oven is dusting it, which the cleaning lady does! I cook 95% of the time, the other 5% is my daughter helping me! I do enjoy cooking, trying new stuff. I’m planning our Thanksgiving meal and cooking the turkey, dressing, sweet potato soufflé and a couple pies. She’ll...

The motorcycles don’t have a temper! :D

Married to my high school sweetheart for 35 years, three grown kids, one very precious granddaughter. Been flying 37 years and still enjoy it. We moved closer to our daughter and son in law, so we can be closer to Molly!

Congratulations to the happy couple!!

A good broker will shop pretty much every company that is interested in your situation, I think my folks went to 7 or 8 companies. I’ve been with the same broker for a long time and the same insurance company for 10-12 years. Every company has guidelines of what business they want and it’s a...

Are you saying I need to stop with this one? :D:eek:

I’ve been flying pressurized Cessnas since 1994 and I’ve had one pressurization issue, other than that, no expense that I can think of. This is on 7 different airplanes. :D

I’ve bought a couple Bose X’s used for $4-500 each and they’ve been great. As others have stated, hearing is too important to go cheap. I started flying in 1984 with a hand mic and the cheap paper overhead speaker, finally got introduced to headsets and a portable intercom!

I think you’re cost of ownership between a Navajo and a 414 will depend on lot on the airplane you buy. Some have impeccable maintenance and operators and some are used like tractors, fix it when it’s no longer usable. In close to 20 years of 400 series Cessna ownership, I think I had one minor...

And I’m flying it to New Orleans tomorrow!!:eek:

It’s actually pretty quiet, the previous owner did a ton of soundproofing stuff and it works! Yeah, speeds are different for sure, but I was flying to Destin and back a lot. It was 1:00 to 1:10 in the 551 and 1:30 in the 414 and 421B. But man did I miss a lot of Amex points!

Here she is in her movie role in “American Made” The N number is altered, but that’s her! The movie was on today and I tuned in late, she’s more prominent earlier.

I was actually looking at 210’s, but for the money savings I can buy a lot of gas and mx! I like the 310’s, I don’t like climbing on the wing to enter, but more importantly, my wife hates it! Also I’d have to be lifting my two dogs onto the wing, and they are 50 and 60 lbs! Before we got the...
