What many folks don't know is that Alan Klapmeier is one of the "good eggs" Spike mentioned below. In fact, if you listen to his appearance on Pilotcast #51, he mentions how, while he'd like new pilots to be learning to fly in their brand-spankin'-new Cirri, he also thinks they should then learn to appreciate a nice grass strip on a sunny Saturday. Alan himself owns a 1950 de Havilland Chipmunk for doing exactly that.
Man, I think I'd rather see him show up at Gastons in the Chipmuk rather the jet.
