Well, today was the day. I purchased 704LF, and I must say that she is a real beauty. I took her up for an hour test flight and she flies great. I think this is the first properly rigged 150 I have ever flown, since when I take my hands off the yoke she flies straight and true.
I took my wife out to the airport tonight to get her seal of approval. On our walk down the ramp, a 2006 Turbocharged Skylane with G1000 caught her eye. She said to me, "We need that plane next." My wife sat in the seats with me, played with the controls, and kept commenting about how nice the plane is. It's amazing how nice a plane can be when it has low time and a loving series of recent owners.
