Will it never end...?

The airplane that deadened pilots' feet worldwide... a Pacer with a nosewheel; the Flying Milkstool: the Piper Tri-Pacer. So wrong, but so right... ;D still a very affordable airplane that is a better four-seat hauler than most Skyhawks, and about as fast. This one looks good in red...

But there ain't nothing like the real thing ( a proper high-wing Piper)... not a Pacer, but a PA-16 Clipper... very clean "stock" example.

Oshkosh draws beautiful Swifts like moths to a flame, and they in turn draw me. I visited the Swift area every day. Sigh... I really need one of these. ;D

Another Tri-Pacer, just 'cuz it's got a real nice paintjob. Not sure what the deal is with that thing on the gear strut... I think it's Whimsical Folk Art. Or something. ::)

Another superb paint... this would be perfet with a plaid interior. ;D

As seen earlier in Mark's post: Matt Younkin's superb Mystery Ship replica.

:)  Nice,  love that Clipper

In 1949, the Clipper sold for $2995,    I wonder what you could get for that one for now.

$20-40,000, depending on total hours, equipment, etc.

Nice to see all these, especially since they have flown here and proves that they are not hangar queens !

Thanks for the look Sean...... 8-)
