Air-to-Air Piper JetProp

[Lowflynjack]

This newly painted speed machine needed some glamour shots! It was also great to see water in Lake Travis again.

The City of Austin in the background.

I should have gone to med school.

Like it nice job

Why? You don't have to go to med school to be a photographer! (yeah, I can't afford it either!)

 

[pmanton]

I think I'd buy 2 of them so I'd have a plane to fly when one of them was in annual.

Jack, you are *really* good at this - thanks for regularly sharing!

Thank you! I love sharing photos here… I get great feedback and most of it is good!

Yeah. Law school, but yeah.

Growing up, I thought all I ever wanted was to own tractors. Turns out, there are more fun ways to burn petroleum distillates.

Beautiful photos. The Jetprop is not my favorite SETP, but Jack makes them all look like Sydney Sweeney.

There’s water in Lake Travis? All I remember is the topless girl getting out of the boat at Carlos and Charlie’s.

What's stopping you? There's still time to make a career change.

I need to financially recover from the one I just made. Then I'm going back to college!

How long until you’ll be putting a kid through college?

I told my girls they’d better get scholarships because Daddy is an addict of the worst kind… aviation addict. Always broke and looking to get high. They listened!

How high is 'high' to a person named Lowflynjack?

LOL, when cruising, 8500' is my normal high, but when doing photos 2000' is high! My plane is always covered in bugs!

I have a Junior and a senior so its coming up quick.

Beautiful. Love those smooth lines. The most efficient certified turboprop (think). Notice how even the fowler flaps don't have cowlings with completely internal tracks. Completely flush rivet design. That slick design leads to the plane being an impressive glider, with around an 18:1 gide ratio with the prop feathered. Sounds like up to 260 KTAS on 32ish gph. I prefer the more robust Meridian/M500. Less efficient and more expensive, but also built a little stronger with more robust and automated systems.

 

[Lowflynjack]

And the magazine is out!

 

[Half Fast]

Beautiful as always, Jack. But I sure wish they wouldn’t break up your pics with all that unnecessary text.

It was also great to see water in Lake Travis again.

You were over Lake Travis and no pictures of hippie hollow.??

Yeah... you probably don't want that!!!

 

[N7167L]

Beautiful!

 

[Jim Kickland]

WOW! LOVE THE PAINT JOB!!!!

 

[danhagan]

Great pictures Jack. Those radio antennas I got to see a lot from my child's dorm and apartment during under-grad and law school at UT. Austin's a lot of fun, but we had several burglaries involving vehicles while visiting.

Piper made twin engine Jet Props?
