Lol, forgot about this thread...+1 on the P

I volunteer mine...love your work!

+1 The Cessna's chart for the P337

One of my Commanders actually did fly the 0-1 in Vietnam...He hated it, he said they gave him the choice between that and the backseat of an F-4...He wanted to fly and not ride....I don't know if I would have made the same...lol Now I can go back to lurking, I've posted more in two days than...
