Sad to see it go, but, wow, talk about getting good use out of an airplane=

I can't imagine just parking my plane at a salvage yard and walking away..=

I don't always read his articles (I can't say he's my favorite author)
so I'm not sure what he means about his decreased dutes at Flying. Is
he semi retiring?

I believe he was editor in chief, and now Mac is, as Dick has a different
title.

I suspect that the 9000 hours in the P210 were largely paid for on expense
account traveling and speaking as the editor of the magazine. (Or were paid
for by whoever paid him to come speak, for example.) I doubt it came out of
is after-tax pocketbook.

I remember some years ago as he was writing about his decision of what to
buy, and I think he came up with buying a Cardinal. A couple years or so
later, it quietly disappeared, and the P210 came.

As most of us probably pay for the plane's costs our of our discretionary
money, the cost of a P210 is out of reach, as is the cost of the newer
versions of whatever we are used to flying.
