Carenado Double-Shot

I decided to take a flight with a little-used plane in my hangar...the Piper Cherokee Archer II.  I was going to head over to Pioneer and maybe say hello to Ben (whatever he calls himself here these days).

Image

Taxiied behind a 172...

Image

Shortly as the 172 was taking off, I was told to taxi into position and hold, then given clearance...

Image

Many of you know of my penchant for flying at night..well, I was beginning to tire and so I landed at the nearest airport I could find (KSUE)...

Image

After a good night sleep, I switched to the Cessna 182 RG2 Skylane...(because I could)...

Image

I never get tired of the Cessna's folding gear!

Image

Continued heading about 227*

Image

Image

Shortly before I arrived (about 8nm out) the weather turned to soup!  Just a few minutes ago, it had been reported clear.  After a go-around, I was able to land, though it was quite a chore!

Though after landing, I could see that Ben lives near a bueat of an airport!

Great shots, great play by play  :)
I haven't purchased any GA aircraft yet, but I like the looks of this one (the Cherokee Archer II).
I have a few freeware Highwings and they're not too bad, I can't really see buying any of them (although I'm considering buying a payware Bellanca).

Nice looking aircraft jordonj ;)

Have you tried the C337 "Skymaster" yet...the old "mixmaster" is a bit of fun as well.

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

The one by FSD isn't out yet, and I don't really care much for the freeware ones I've found.

I took a shot of a real one in the Photos forum (a local Fly-In)...

I was told they're safer than other twins as they're a lot more controllable than the ones with engines side-by-side...
