    My next plane will have 6 plus seats and burn jet-A, just not sure how many engines.

    I would by another glass Ovation in a heartbeat but my family is to big for anything Mooney makes.

    Great thread. You Ferrari guys are too cool for words. This is from a stop for BBQ in Abilene Texas about 3 years ago. Our plane is the 1948 Cessna 195 in the foreground. Jeff

    What a sweetheart! A very classically pretty aircraft - arguably the prettiest Cessna ever!

    And one of the nicest flying! A great airplane ! The other Cessna's that I think are good are the Cardinal and the T-50. Flew the -120 and -140 and the -180 and they are good airplanes in my opinion.

    Joe,
    It's a small world. I work with Ron Lueck's brother-in-law and we have talked about CompAir on numerous occasions.

    Will be getting the rest of them soon, but here is a sample breaking away from the camera plane:

    strange question for you pilots: are any of you smokers?and if so do you smoke while flying? is smoking allowed in smaller planes like these ones? or is it something that depends on the pilot/owners preference?
    Thanks

    Russ, that is such a fun photograph! How I envy you. Do I detect a bit of top rudder there and no aileron? Who cares. You are having way too much fun. That looks great. All you have to do is to continue that into a roll with a bit of left rudder at the end and you will have done it.
