Thanks for the update, Ed. Was curious about that.

It's not about breaking the bank, so much as justifying it. I'm only going to be flying about 72 hours or so, in other words 6 hours a month. So...

Herb,

I've seen the FAA update that they have selected their two candidates for the next phase (III I think). They were Swift and Shell. But I can't find any more information about compatibility...

Getting the Lead Out

Has there been any indication about the fate of the Skymaster engines on this front? The latest discussion I see here is 2013.

Increasingly, it seems, the planes that appear on market are P's (which perhaps stands to reason on a number of fronts) and there is much to read of course on the pros and cons thereof. But if the...
