If Apple could make a screen wing-sized and attach it to the bottom of a real wing, they'd sure have a heck of an advertising platform.Is it just me or is this a PA-28 wing?

I hate the term "wireless charging."
If I have to connect my device to a specific thing on the end of a cord, it's not really all that wireless.

There's no physical wire hooked in the phone charging it. Therefore, wireless charging.

Yeah, I've known about these guys and another who do the "light bar" thing. I'm talking hi-res screen... as part of the wing. No drag, all dazzle.

Built most of my commercial hours in a STOL kit, hershey bar PA-28. Loved that plane. You had enough time in ground effect to check your bracket, stock portfolio, and the tee time weather. $40/hr dry with 2007 gas prices? 5+ destination beaches less than 2 hrs away?!? Memories. Memories.

I've also got good memories of the STOL kit equipped Hershey Bar winged Arrow I flew many years ago.

Sad thing is...back in the 1960s. Piper was the shiznit. They'd sold more airplanes than Cessna, and you could load a whole piano (an upright) in a Cherokee 6 (legally).
Once the buyout frenzy started by large corporate interests in the 70's, GA, as we knew it, by the big three was doomed.
Some businesses need love as part of the "business model". The best analog to this is restaurants. Once the owner/founder leaves, that little extra something that made the place special also leaves, and you're left with generic food with OK service. That something extra will never show up on a balance sheet.

I'm still extremely partial to Piper. Which in a state that lives on 207s and Caravans practically makes me a heretic.

It's those damn Oleo struts that I hate! I love me some spring gears!

Except you can rebuild an oleo for $30 worth of parts, while the spring legs wear out and get loose and cost $7000 each. Nope, oleo all the way.

SE is the way to go, phone is incredible with the trusty 5 design.

I don't care about the money aspect of it. I just love how smooth my landings are with the spring gear. The Oleo struts would stick extended and always collapse at the worst of times.

Typical pilot. No regard for the big picture beyond "does it make me look good?"

I need something to make up for my absolute horrid King Air landings!
