! Does that mean I'm getting old? HA! Only 56 and cruisin'. 3 years older than my plane, but have owned 8 planes older than me. Sure is refreshing to see the younger pilots enjoying GA. Seemed like for a time it was dying out. Sure wish there was some better back country scenery around here. It's about as flat around here as my first wife. Oh well, time to go have fun.

I was reading this thread and fell asleep. I woke up and it is 2 months later ! Does that mean I'm getting old? HA! Only 56 and cruisin'. 3 years older than my plane, but have owned 8 planes older than me. Sure is refreshing to see the younger pilots enjoying GA. Seemed like for a time it was dying out. Sure wish there was some better back country scenery around here. It's about as flat around here as my first wife. Oh well, time to go have fun. Jon

I found your dad in the logs...looks like he owned the 'Chicken from about 1978-1995. He sure flew the crap out of it.
