I am sure there are quite a number of pilots that are aircraft owners here. What do you own/fly? Let's see pictures.

Well, I think with the first post, you pretty much scooped everyone....! I was going to post my lowly Beech Duke, but I might have to hold off. Do you. or did you, own the three?

Not a chance, and the first two are way out of my price range. I haven't owned anything since 1989, when I had a PA-28-161. I rent these days, a CE-310R for longer trips, and CE-172 & CE-172RG for local stuff. I do a little part-time instruction in the SE Cessnas, and one weekend a year, for each, I take the back seat in the PA-18 on wheels and skis.

Where are you based? DVT?

I was thinking you might fly a PC-6.

pporter is my name- I never made a connection with the Pilatus Porter until now!

I am based at KAEG, but I make it to VDT a couple of times a year.

Back when I used to fly, it would be one of these birds at Lancs Aero Club.

There are plenty of other things you can forget. But please not the rudder.

I really enjoy the PA-18 on floats. I hope to try the Twin Bee one day, perhaps for my AMES rating.

Nice Beaver.
