The Centurion won. A guy on our field had one with air conditioning. It was a very nice 210 He sold it a few years ago. Maybe Catherine will enlighten us soon  . | | | | | Joined: Jan 2007 Posts: 3,640 Likes: 49 Member/2500+posts | | Member/2500+posts Joined: Jan 2007 Posts: 3,640 Likes: 49 | 210's and 182's are VERY pricey unless you get one that needs quite a bit of "work". The Cherokee 235 is a very nice hauler and will do so at nearly 130knots. Really good bang for the buck. I may be looking at those soon..that and or the Arrows.

Not when the boys we've seen grow up have been turning into young men with the passage of time. Sally's useful load hasn't changed much over the years but the load itself sure has.  Best of luck with the sale, CC.....someone will be getting one fine Cherokee. Jim

Ooops, wince -- Reminds me how I hate climbing up a stepladder hauling up a fuel hose.

But, I'm sure wishing for more seats, myself. Can't wait for the big reveal! Never thought I'd be a tailwheel snob, but after flying my 150/150 TD for 12 years, it's grown on me. LOL

But a sweet airplane and so much fun. | | |
