Since you have an interest in rare birds, then consider a Varga Kachina.
Low-wing, trike-gear, tandem seating.


Yes I confess: I have an interest in exotic birds. I want people to look at
my plane and go like "What the heck is that???"

I don't want them to say "Oh ... a 152. Nice, like the other three hundred
parked around here".

I also realize fully that the mechanic that will have to maintain it will
also say "What the heck is that???" and when I will see the bills I will
probably say "What the heck is that???" just as loud ... I can imagine that
"exotic" might mean hard/expensive to maintain. It's a risk ... but a worthy
risk if I can find the bird I can love for the next 30 years ... without
having to donate a kidney to buy it, that is.

The sin I am guilty of is ... vanity?
