Flying south for the winter...part 4
Posted: Mon Dec 12, 2011 9:25 pmAnd we pick up where we left for a quick hop today to somewhere in Mexico
Leaving where we were, sun's already setting
I'm falling in love with the 337...
It's so pretty, and such a great design (in theory). Inline engines gives you a few things. First and foremost, it's safer incase you lose an engine as there is no yaw. As an additional benefit, your Vmc (minimum control speed) is lower, and your vertical tail can be smaller. So Cessna was able to get away with two small vertical tails instead of some grossly oversized vertical fin
Jared joined me in another beauty from Cessna, the 210 Centurion. These are two of Cessna's best looking props in my opinion. Of course none of the props have anything on the Sovereign
(or potential planes to come 
)
Ultimately though, nothing man made can ever compete with mother nature....
We landed safe under the shroud of darkness so I have no shots. But I hope you enjoyed anyway!
Let's play a game! What's your favorite Cessna?
