Ya know, I believe that this is the only aircraft type forum where a person gets into trouble for showing appreciation for the type!

Nope, it is the only aircraft type forum where we say, "when you have 600+ hours in one, you can comment realistically about them."
Bingo.
But not to worry Tim, the owner of this plane is just another run of the mill airline Captain with over 16,000 hours plus he's a CFII to boot. You know the type......a real dumb chit.
BTW: I've never flown in one but I saw the remains of a Mooney 201 that went off the end of the runway at Leadville, CO.......must be another POS type plane.
I've never flown in one but I even witnessed a Piper Comanche land gear up once and then helped move it off the runway...talk about a real POS!
And then there was the time, while the student watched, I helped hold down the tail of a 152 that was off the runway with the nose gear.......never mind, I'm not about to imply that the 152 is a POS even though I have actually flown that type of plane......no way.
