my next "ride"...

mountainman · Post by **mountainman** » Wed Sep 06, 2006 9:44 pm

Yesterday after work, my wife and I went up in this baby...1977 Piper Arrow II: 200HP, retract gear, 3-blade C/S prop, IFR GPS, ~160MPH cruise.

I should be a member of the flying club within the month since I got my deposit check today for my RV-4. Woohoo!!

My Dad had the same bird a while back. Almost the same call number too.

Damn cool

MD: Heck... may be the same one! It looks sweet, but when you get up close, you can tell it's been awhile since it got a paint job. Either way, the engine/prop is smooth and the controls are solid.

Thanks, Rivas!

Very nice B! So you thinking of getting that one then?

I'm just going to join a flying club. They have an Arrow and an ARcher. I'm done with plane ownership until my bad luck settles down.

Make sure you call me and fly over here when you get an Edge.

Oh man... I would LOVE one of those. I went up with that guy in a Pitts when I was in DC a few months back. I'd take any of those kickass acro planes.

*drool*

(Maybe in a few more years when I'm in the bucks... LOL)

You should know better than anyone! I have a dragon on my penis. It looks like a frog when it’s cold in the shower, but when I gets aroused… it’s a dragon of extraordinary size. Let me know if you want another picture.
