I didn't know there was still anyone around who flies A300s

I guess I dodged that bullet

AOPA once again gave my airplane away to the wrong person...

He gets to pay 25% of the value in taxes too. Cheap price for an aircraft, but still hurts.

 

[EdFred]

I'd sell it, and paint and upgrade the Comanche.

I'd sell it and buy a Comanche.

Wife - "Honey, you've always wanted a fun little airplane to putt around in..... "

sheeesh....

 

[wbarnhill]

I'd sell it and buy a Comanche.

I'd sell it, and buy a Commander, then sell a 1/2 share in that.

 

[tonycondon]

id sell it and buy an open cirrus. or maybe a standard cirrus.

 

[EdFred]

They have an STC to put towhooks on Cirri now?

 

[tonycondon]

Open Cirrus:

Standard Cirrus:

 

[EdFred]

I hate when they have the same name for a glider and a plane.

 

[tonycondon]

yea. you'd think the plane manufacturers would check that...

 

[Trapper John]

yea. you'd think the plane manufacturers would check that...

Easy to fix. Let the glider guys have the "Cirrus" name, and let the powered guys have "Sear Us"...

I'd sell it and buy the T-6 a buddy of ours is looking to get rid of.

let the powered guys have "Sear Us"

It would be more appropriate that way.... LOL

 

[Anthony]

I'd keep it and put it on static display in front of Adam's house.

Schempp Hirth was building those planes when the Klapmeiers where still riding a tricycle around the backyard.

I wasn't saying the gliders couldn't have the same name, I just don't like it when they do.

Just like Comanche planes and Comanche helicopters.

 

[astanley]

I'd sell it, and paint and upgrade the Comanche.

I'd sell it and paint and upgrade you. IIOISSB
