I’ve bought two planes and both had some damage history. With the age of most the planes we are buying, zero damage history almost makes me more suspicious than documented damage and repair that have been in operation since. A good prebuy and document inspection should calm you in these instances.

With the University shutting down/selling off the Chapel Hill airport, I’m surprised it was so low priced as well.

When I had my Tiger, I folded down the seats after Hurricane Michael crushed the gulf. Was able to fly full fuel, two large generators, two pole gas chain saws, etc. down there to help out. One Cheetah owner I know pulled the seats day one of ownership and never looked back. While I had a Tiger...

Very interesting and a factor for sure. Why would it freeze in a warm cockpit?

So special. Really happy you were able to do that. I cannot imagine the emotions. Blessings to your family. Thanks for sharing.

Where? I can if the weather clears.

Was really looking forward to this. Best laid plans….

We used to live 30 minutes from there. Never landed there but there are several good restaurants (Smiths seemed like a tourist trap but the food is solid too). Fun shops and quaint place. I’m gonna have fly back there now.

CEU is a cool airport. I’ve never faced fees there. Should be quiet as the game is in Charlotte. Check the traffic patterns; there is a private grass strip super close to CEU. I’ve landed at Pickens but have zero memory regarding it. As for the game, Go Dawgs! Dawgs on Top! GATA!

Owning a plane is an investment; I’m investing in my mental health. Financially smart? No, no, no. I love flying and I’ll give a portion of my retirement up to enjoy it now. I can’t justify the expenses and certainly try to mitigate them. It is a losing scenario, but a winning lifestyle...

I’ve flown both a Tiger and Bonanza V tail with the cap off. Lost very minimal fuel on both.

For a year, every time I landed at a towered field in Florida, a controller would call my Grumman Tiger, “Experimental NXXX”. I jokingly announced Certified Tiger NXXX”. It changed nothing. I think the reply above is most important that it is irrelevant unless they are calling your Citation Skyhawk.

Looks like a blast. Such doors are opened up with this hobby of ours!

I’ll try calling this am but not seeing any planned breakfast on the website. Looks like a fun airport as mentioned.

That’s because they never expect to win. A UGA game at Tech normally has more UGA fans than Tech. Back to the subject, PDK is legitimately kind to GA. They surely prefer big iron, but so much better than others.

Ha! That’s misguided health according to some. To each his own, but I’ve added 58 pounds of useful load (I’ve lost 58 lbs) eating a mostly animal based diet, low carbs and more fat this year…. I’m no doctor so I’ll skip the “health” debate except to state my reduced weight and 75% drop in BP...

Welcome to comment section! I too hope you acquire them all!

Not all passengers are persons... A dog...

Hard to find affordable vintage planes with no damage history. I'm in a '58 that has had two gear collapses (once per side). Neither happened in the last three decades, reputable repairs were made and it sailed through a thorough pretty and annual from Beech IAs. As everyone is saying, it...

I’m game. Never made one before. Hoping for VFRish WX.
