PA24-180 Comanche early 1990’s for a year. My intro to airplane ownership. Rather eye opening.

PA28-140 for about 10 years through early 2000’s.

PA32-260 with club seating, best cabin ever!

C337G early 2000’s to current.

PA24-250 for 4 years in mid 2010’s. Owned simultaneously as my SkyMaster. I was trying to decide which one to keep for my “forever” plane. I chose the SkyMaster.

All these planes are fantastic in their own right.

If it had been a PA24-400, I may have kept it! Nothing like 8 cylinders and 400hp!!!

1970 Maule M4 220C
1978 Cardinal C177 RG
1974 Citabria 7GCBC 150hp
1967 BE D95A Travel Air
1975 BE 55E Baron
1969 C337D

I'm pretty much all over the place. I get bored with an airplane and I need a change. I spend too much money and get it right and then I sell it for a big loss. But the fun is there.

I am slowly moving into the future with my purchases. Who knows, maybe the next aircraft may be a 1970s vintage...
