Today I became a co-owner
Well, the saying that the third time is the charm certainly is the case
for me and my two partners. Today, two of us closed the deal on a very nice '71 Arrow and flew part of the way home. As I write this, I'm in Farmington, New Mexico. We started the day at Front Range airport in Colorado. Only made it 150 miles closer to home but this was the best we could do given the weather conditions and a later afternoon start. Planning on posting pictures somewhere and more details when I get home but just wanted to post a quick note to say I'm officially a co-owner. I got a chance to fly N2104T yesterday and log my first 1.2 hours of complex time. My second time as PIC will be tomorrow morning. It's a sweet Arrow. Very nicely maintained and by far the nicest one we looked at. I don't think it's really sunk in yet. I've been rather quiet about all of this and things have happened really fast. The ad popped up in TAP just under two weeks ago and picked up speed quickly. -- Jack Allison PP-ASEL-IA Student-Student Arrow Owner "When once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the Earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return" - Leonardo Da Vinci (Remove the obvious from address to reply via e-mail) |

Today, two of us closed the deal on a very nice '71 Arrow and flew part of
the way home. Way to go, Jack! We're gonna need all the bloody details (including whatever happened to Partner Number Three?) -- and pix for the Rogue's Gallery -- when you get home! OSH '05 is now a done deal, yes? :-) -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

So how do you manage the insurance issues while flying the complex airplane; Do you have enough time already to satisfy them, or do you have to pay a higher premium? Perhaps one of these days, we can meet and I can have a look at your new baby? I hope you have a great flight home. -- Mark Hansen, PP-ASEL Sacramento, CA |

Good for you. Now say quietly to yourself a thousand times on the way home,

I gotta say I thought it was going to take you a lot longer to find a good one. Farmington, NM? I heard the winds were really howling up in the 4 corners area last night. Hope the bird was still there this morning :-) John Galban=====N4BQ (PA28-180) |

only one 71-arrow listed on t.a.p. and it's shows a colorado location.
if that's the one, it's very, very nice. i'm sure not an expert but the listed "opening" price did not seem out of line for the condition and features. congratulations! dan |
