Flew new plane for first time today!

[mnewb1]

Went up in my new (first) plane today!! Wow! she is a well cared for beauty and flew amazing! The old wing leveler even still works.
I went up with my CFI as I have not flown a piper in about 9 years.

There are two new cylinders that needed break-in so we just flew wide open for about an hour. I figure at least one more session of that, and then I will focus more on air work and pattern work.

But for now, I couldn't be more excited.

That is a beauty! 67 - year I was born.

It would be cool to own something like that that was built the year I was born.

Very cool - thanks for posting!
