Hey -- I'm driving a 12 year old pick up, and at 21 year old
motorcycle!

Dang, this airplane ownership is obviously only for "rich" guys...


Wow, I must be a rich guy! My pickup is only 8 years old and my motorcycle
is only 14 yrs. old :-))


I'm poorer than both of you; I don't even *have* a motorcycle.

'79 Grumman, '96 Chevrolet.

Both run great.

Congratulations Douglas.

My Chinese scooter is a year old, my 20+ year old Japanese truck with
300+k miles on it went to Mexico for $1k a few years ago...

My plane is 54 years old though...

Douglas,

Excellent aircraft and fun to fly in the mountains!

In Colorado, I trust you have a hangar arranged... BIG hail
every few years... we lost SIGNIFICANT Bonanzas a few years
ago in a hail storm at COS! We were there for the mountain
flying clinic.

Well, it's final--as of last Monday, I can post to r.a.OWNing without
feeling like I snuck in.... Yep, I am officially an airplane owner!!

I flew (airlines) to Hartford last Sunday and finalized the sale on Monday.
N2509X is the world's most beautiful aircraft--and, I will brook no argument
to the contrary, at least until after the emergency smile removal surgery is
done! She's a 1990 Socata Trinidad [TB-20]. I spent the week hopscotching
home (Colorado Springs), which is another way of saying I stopped to brag &
show off--er, I mean, "visit and offer rides to" family and friends along
the way. I'm thrilled!

Now, of course, as this group understands better than any, she's not
perfect--I'm developing a squawk list, figuring what to live with and how to
prioritize those I can't, etc. However, overall, I'm quite happy with my
new baby. Thanks to everyone on this group who has provided so much help
over the last year or so that I've been looking, considering, learning, etc.
I'm sure I have much more learning to go, so I doubt I'm done asking the
questions here. Consider yourself warned!!

Dang! My Chevy is a 1948, the motorcycle is GONE and the
travel trailer is a 1976. BUT, the C206 is a 1972. :-)

Apparently, we are in a bit of one-upmanship here. Here's my list

1980 Kawasaki kz-250 (27 years)
1956 Mercedes (51 years)
1949 Beech Bonanza (58 years)

I guess those are all sorta toys. The regular use ones are

1993 Suzuki Sidekick (14 years)
2005 Honda Pilot (well, sorta the wifes) (only 2 years old)
1988 Specialized Hardrock (bicycle, probably gets more use on a daily
basis than the above two, 19 years old)
