Now I may get lambasted for this


What? You getting flamed? :-)

Call me a purist, but there's just something wrong with parking a plane that
looks exactly like a current-production aircraft (because, well, it IS
identical) next to a classic old Navion or Comanche.


Hmmm, interesting point Jay. Might there be some nasty backlash form
the "pure" vintage crowd? Good question to ponder over the next six
months :-) Hey, at least it's not an Arrow IV with, IMHO, the extremely
goofy looking T-tail.

Actually, that would be an interesting topic to hear from folks on both
sides of the fence. Perhaps a future post.


In a few years I suppose my Pathfinder will be eligible for "Classic"
parking -- but you'll still find me happily watching departures from my lawn
chair out in the North 40...


That's one aspect of the North-40 that, IMHO, is *very* compelling.
While being more centrally located in a place like Vintage sounds good,
there's just something about kicking back in the morning/evening
watching departures and arrivals that makes camping with everyone in the
North-40 a ton of fun.
