Final Approach
Jim finally went and did it! I wonder if we can get him to talk about his new airplane?

Get a pilot to talk about his plane? IMPOSSIBLE!
C'mon Jim, spill the beans!

Pre-takeoff checklist
That Diana's a little stinker, she is!
Well, I don't have photos yet, but once I do, I'll try to post one or two.
Yes, I'm broke, because I just shelled out the dough for a 71 Cherokee 140. It has the O320-E3D, but with a ton of hours. However, it has good oil press and temp, and has been hangared for at least the last decade. It's been local, and I flew in it a few times, so know at least some of its quirks.
It will need some new stuff in the panel, as well as an O/H, but the price was good. I'm already trying to stuff such things as strobes and wingtip lights in the budget. We'll see. It's not easy being a poor college student
and finance an addiction!

Jim, Here is the good news. It doesn't get any better. Flying always takes more money than you have.. However on the bright side It sure is a hell of a lot of fun to go flying in your very own airplane. You don't have to worry about someone not getting back with the rented one. So, enjoy. Bob
