You're right. After getting the bum rush from the airport, the airport
consultant, the FAA etc., I vented a few times on this forum. But I've
said repeatedly that its a shame that 10% or so are the ones giving GA a
bad name.... The Mooney guy seems to have cut it out, at least the 4:55 am
stuff-- wondering if the other people complaining finally got the airports
(which has noise abatement procedures, theoretically) attention.

On the flight training biz: Thanx for the advice. One of the local
schools trains on Pipers, another Cessnas. I'm over 6' too, and the old
152 i trained in years back doesn't leave an awful lot of head room or leg
room. I've never been in a Piper before. Cessna bills its Skylane as a
"stable, easy to fly" machine. Do you think that's true, and how would
the Piper compare?

(I'll be good (not that I won't ever go after the nefarious Phil Boyer
anymore); the rest of the group can thank Jay!)



This just warms my heart! I hope you do go get your license, and I
hope you keep us posted. Let us know about your training, and tell us
when you solo!
