AOPA’s Mark Baker said as much when he spoke at the Clinton Fly-In a few years ago.

I sense we know these planes better than almost anybody else? The only problem with being familiar (or somewhat, anyway) with the outstanding airplanes in this club is it make some of us (me!) feel like we are unworthy, flying around in a 150/152 with gravel chips in the paint and old fashioned analog instruments!  Then again, it does give us something to aspire to! | | | | | Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 11,924 Likes: 411 Member/10,000+ posts! | | Member/10,000+ posts!

Can't help you with the instruments though, I went square a few years back.

He's always reminded me of Robert Conrad with an EverReady battery sitting on his shoulder.
