    You say that so casually, so I'm guessing it's not a black market thing. :)

    That RV ^^^ is too cool. Congrats.

    Like Steveny360, I get to run around on a 55 that some else pays for, as long as I'm bringing home some bacon. Good way to go.

    Also you flight junkies might like this cobbled together test stand that we used to test a building curtainwall design for deflection and water infiltration.

    The 115 is built on the 114 type certificate with an interior makeover and a few other small cjanges. It gave Commander a chance to raise the price of the new planes (again). I had a 114 before this and wanted the newer avionics, turbocharger and AC for the Florida summers. Purchased it right after 9/11 and bought it right as no one was buying planes at that time. We have put about 1000 hours on it mostly to the Bahamas but also to Salt lake UT, Branson MO, New York and Boone NC. Great traveling machine for two, gets a bit tough with four if your going long distance due to the useful load. Very happy with the plane, its given good service and has been easy and cost effective to maintain.

    cool, there must just be something about the picture filter, digitalization, or other formatting. similar to that 458 Italia short Ferrari produced.

    Rob: Although not a professional camera man, I must thank you for the compliment on my photography. As noted, I own the aircraft, use them extensively in business and for pleasure, and work extremely hard to keep the dream going. I have owned the '83 308 since '84, and it has been a loyal companion and a joy always. Never would I use this forum to insult the Ferrari community with lies or subterfuge.
    Respectfully,
    TN

    no, not at all, I wasn't sure at first, and even if they were shots from a simulator I would think you were doing it in good fun. posting 3 aircraft you "fly". congrats, great taste is planes and cars. :)

    Reminds me, how is the Rocket Race League doing? I'm sure tough in this economy, the Tulsa demonstration looked cool.
