Actually Wayne, with those qualifcations.... You sound like a shoo-in!

Spoiled brat!!! Spoiled rotten I tell ya! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Go ahead and make fun of my Piper, just remember, I can do something in it that you can NOT do in yours....I can ride in the back seat!! I just choose not to since riding in the front is more fun!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Now, here's one to look at!

What a great toy!

Only one problem, though....

My mechanic told me long ago, "when it comes to airplanes, nothing good ever comes out of Florida!"

Sorry guys.

Even a good mechanic can't be right 100% of the time, Steve!

With all due respect, he's wrong about Florida!!

Also, I'm guessing that airplane is based at crestview, quite inland and no different in climate from georgia or alabama.

Furthermore, I kept Gremlin at my former home base not 200 yards from Tampa Bay for over a year and a half with no noticable increase in corrosion. Gremlin is pretty clean inside her skin and stayed that way, and the paint is still as shiny as the day I bought her, which was just about as shiny as she was last painted in 1992.

A good coat of wax and frequent washes DO help!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I hear you guys. I'm sure even the guy who told me that would have to concede that his "rule of thumb" is not all inclusive.

Yessirree!

Don't NOBODY say a thing about my Mary Lou. Hey - these are airplanes! They fly1 and the view is fabulous!

I do get kinda testy about my airplane - you know - when some unauthorized person touches it or leans on it. Unhand her! Go away! I'll show her off 24/7/365 to anyone. But man - woe unto the person that touches her without permission.

A pox upon their hangar, I say!

Just as Wayne said, we're all here because we love our airplanes, we love to fly, and it's a special fraternity (oh.... ok lori, Erin, Jess and Catherine... and sorority) among us.

If it flies, its cool.

Long live Piper! Long live Beechcraft! Long live all other general Aviation airplanes makes and models, young and old!

And LONG LIVE THE CESSNA 150-152!!!

Amen Brother Ed!

So sayeth the Poobah!
