Kirk--

Take a look at the Grummans out there. You might be able to get a
good, minimally equipped '76-'78 Cheetah for $50K or thereabouts.
You'd be getting 120KTAS @ 8.5 GPH and four seats. The whole series of
aircraft--Traveler, Cheetah, Tiger--is easy to fly, much more
responsive than a 172 or Warrior (and faster), very economical to
operate as an owner, and the visibility is fantastic.

There is also a very active owners' group that is ready and willing to
help you with ANY problem you might encounter.

I have been reading up on both the Cheetahs and the Tigers. There are
pros and cons to both but that can be said about every other aircraft.
But those 2 Grummans are definitely on our list although a nice Tiger
might run more than our budget.
