Returning to the fold - opinions on this airplane
Posted: Tue Sep 13, 2011 1:25 pm
Greetings folks-
Never was very active on our forum, but now (of course) I come to you with hat in hand asking for much needed advice on a potential airplane purchase.
I sold N1297D (1951 170A) a few years ago and have been flying Cirrus, C182T and other modern airplanes since then. Fact: glass panels are great for cross country situational awareness and hard IMC. Another fact: the new airplanes simply aren't as much fun as our classic birds. I need another 170.
My must-have requirements are:
1) IFR-certified
2) Well organized panel with IFR GPS and decent intercom system.
I'm looking at the following a/c on Barnstormers with a serious bent. Pics are at the bottom.
Your opinions are heartily solicited either herein or via PM or e-mail. (If you know the a/c or owner, even more so...)
My sincere thanks.
