    Thanks Pat. That’s what I suspected. Sure wish I could get their records of my plane.

    Website is outdated and nonfunctional; phone number doesn’t work. I’ve Googled like crazy and can’t find current information about them.

    Sky Harbour Aircraft in Goderich, ONT?

    Sky Harbour painted my airplane about 15 years ago. I am trying to get hold of them but suspect they may have gone out of business. Anyone happen to know?

    Looking for A&P in Louisville, KY Area

    Well, I'm the proud new owner of a Cherokee Six. The plane is in Louisville and I'm trying to find a mechanic that can help me with it. There are a few minor squawks that need to be addressed. Any recommendations for A&Ps in the region? I'm not opposed to flying the plane to a nearby town.

    ICAO Flight Plan transition...really this time

    John, thank you for several really good posts about this stuff (I read the ForeFlight post as well). I'm trying to figure out how my (potentially) new airplane is equipped. It has a GNS 530 and GTX 345. I just want to triple confirm the GTX345 is sending Mode C. I know it has ADS-B In/Out, but...

    Is There a True 6 Person + Luggage Light Twin?

    That sounds like great advice. Will do! I've briefly read through those. Now that I'm a soon-to-be owner, I'll take a much closer look. Thanks for the insight! Ken

    Is There a True 6 Person + Luggage Light Twin?

    Quick Update on my adventure: I have a purchase agreement on a Cherokee Six-300. I'll share more details after closing - I don't want to jinx it! I've heard about the benefits of joining a "type club." If I understand it correctly, that means something like PiperOwner.org or PiperFlyer.org...

    Is There a True 6 Person + Luggage Light Twin?

    I appreciate all the excellent advice. High DA airports won't be a regular thing. Primary ops will be east of the Mississippi. I'm concentrating my search on early Cherokee 6-300s. There are a few out there with 1500 lbs useful loads which will give us some flexibility.

    Is There a True 6 Person + Luggage Light Twin?

    I'm not worried about the hourly cost difference between 260/300. I realize there will be better DA performance with the 300. Just curious how much better it is. Is it dramatic or just a little better? Are 260 owners departing Denver saying "no big deal" or is it "Holy crap, the 260 has no...

    Is There a True 6 Person + Luggage Light Twin?

    Thanks again for all the great information. I'm slowly soaking it up. I would truly love an Aztec or larger (402 & 414 were suggested) but after some rational airplane discussion (is that a thing? :D) we're not comfortable with the care and feeding of a turbocharged twin with retracts. We...

    Is There a True 6 Person + Luggage Light Twin?

    Thanks for the offer and recommendation. I'm definitely going to fly the 310. Your useful load looks good! I'm really struggling between a 310/Aztec and Cherokee 6-300. I like the twins for IFR and get-there-itis. But the economy of a Cherokee 6 is tempting - I could still fly day IFR with the...

    Is There a True 6 Person + Luggage Light Twin?

    I found a corporate interior DC-3 that would work, too. :-)

    Is There a True 6 Person + Luggage Light Twin?

    I'm definitely fine with hand tools; I know I can learn the routine stuff. I'll just need to find a mechanic in my neighborhood that can help me. Networking in the local community should help.

    Is There a True 6 Person + Luggage Light Twin?

    Thank you for being so helpful. I have a LOT of questions. I’ve changed plugs, ignition wires, and distributor on my old ‘76 Pinto; worked on a weedeater motor, changed oil in a pickup, and I can start a 049 model engine. I enjoy building and fixing things, but I know very little about aircraft...

    Is There a True 6 Person + Luggage Light Twin?

    Good advice. I’m going to get checked out in a 310 and make some weekend practice runs with the family so they understand what they’re getting into.
