Lets put your freshly painted cardinal on the field next to a Cirrus any
Cirrus I might add and start asking people what they think looks better. I
bet the Cardinal doesn't get one vote.

jmho,
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. IMHO, the Cirrus can't hold a
candle to the Cardinal when it comes to good look. Our Cardinal will
the best looking plane on any field after its paint job ;-)

I bet it does. It would certainly get mine. The Cirrus is pretty plain
vanilla looking. I find the curve of the tail partricularly ugly.

Aluckyguess,
What is your wager? Hey, I already got two votes from Dave and
Matt eventhough my plane is still in the paint shop ;-)

Hai,

Sorry I wasn't there... I'm SURE I was out flying. Please do email or
call ahead for scheduling and I'll be SURE to have time for you when
you come thru.

If at all possible, I highly recommend the mountain flying course put
on by Colorado Pilots Association... Usually in Denver, May and
August of each year. I even teach the ground school. :-)

I'll look forward to flying with you in 2006!

I'm at 3V5, Fort Collins Downtown Airport.
Note that FNL, Fort Collins - Loveland Airport is nearby.
Of course, we consider ourselves THE "Fort Collins Airport" :-)

Best regards,

Jer,


Thank you for your vote ;-) I hope to have a chance to show off my
Cardinal to you in person in the near future. We stopped at Fort
Collins airport in our trip to Denver late last August to see if we
could schedule a mountain flying session but you were not around. We
will try to contact you ahead of time if we plan another NY-CO trip.


Hai Longworth
