I took the hint from NbN and went out on an offer from a co-worker to explore the skies in his 1967 Cherokee Piper. After getting past the bumps, dips, and "slides" the planes goes through while dealing with turbulence at 3000 feet, I have to say that it was an amazing experience! Much more so than a trip on a commercial airliner, too, as we got to fly over places I was familiar with and could point out.
And man, can that little four-seater haul. We cruised from Tampa to Lakeland and back again in around 30min -- twice as fast as any trip down the Interstate.
Must...resist...urge... to get pilot's license... nngh... So expensive.
Pictures coming soon of this fine aircraft and the wonderful trip.
