PA-28 Hershey Bar Wing or an iPhone?

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.

Can't remember who said it recently, but I was told that "culture eats strategy for lunch, every time."
 
Seems to me the leading edge of that phone would not sustain impact as well as your basic 1/4" thick model.
My daughter got a $100 phablet phone from ATT (Android ZTE ZMax2 IIRC) that seems to rock sox. I would have a hard time paying 6 or 8hundred for a new phone, when that one covers it all for a fraction of the cost.

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.

And soon after GA became out of reach for the average Joe.

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

Sleds may rule the 135 world, but Piper is still the manufacturer of choice for GA guys (Cubs, Pacers, etc).
 
For my money, fixed gear, it doesn't get better than a Piper Dakota.

A Super Mouse 23 with two doors and a 200HP engine is pretty rad, but they are really rare.

If we placed it on a toothpick stand with two wheels on top of a treadmill - at what speed setting would it lift off?

My google-image fu is failing me. What's a Super Mouse 23? Because I"m not getting anything back on that search term.
 
Correctimundo.

Mice are really underrated.

Sat in a new Mooney Acclaim Ultra with the Pilot's door today. Sweet ride. Don't tell my Bo.
