Let's get high.
Took the airplane up to 16.5K today to see what she'd do and have my first
experience sucking oxygen. It is truly satisfying to sit back and watch the airplane hold 800 FPM all the way up. Performance was a bit better than book: 164 KTAS at 27" and 2400 RPM, 14.6 GPH, 50 deg. ROP. I'm in love with this airplane; it's a dream to fly and performs beautifully. Heading back to Mobile, I took the headphones off, turned off the autopilot and enjoyed the unusual 60+ mile visibility as I banked left and right all the way down to 1,000 ft. over Dauphin Island. Jeez, I love flying. -- Dan T-182T at BFM
