Reading some of the responses on the "How many seatsw for a first airplane" poll got me thinking at how many planes people have owned over the years and what were some of the stories about those planes. I have only one plane and it is not yet a year in my possesion, the stories in it are still being made.

Using "plane" to mean aircraft, two. The Archer II and then the R22. We are close to finalizing a partnerthip to buy an R44, so it will hopefully soon be 3...

Sorry Bob, I tend to be a fixed wing focused person. But aircraft was the correct interpretation.

I voted two - both 4 place, but if you want to include the R/C versions I'll have to go recount.
 
Three. The A-36 I purchased five years ago. Since then, was a partner in an A-55 Baron since sold. Last June I purchased a B-58 Baron with a partner which we still own.

Three. One glider, Grob Astir CS brand new, with two partners. One glider, Standard Cirrus used, as sole owner. One Mooney M20J used with one partner.
 
As I stated in the poll about the the first airplane. My first was a 1975 Cessna 182 and the one I own now is a 1976 Cessna Cardinal RG.

I love my Cardinal. :)

You don't have an option for more than 0 but less than one, so I voted 1.

1/7th is no where near one tho.

I'm with ya Nick... Where's the option for 1/30th of three? :dunno:

They're all 4-place anyway. :rolleyes:

3, for me. The first was a 1971 C-172L Skyhawk, the 2nd was a 1975 C-150M; and the 3rd purchase is a 1971 C-172L Skyhawk. The first and third are the same aircraft, so is the above a convoluted answer?

Uh.. 1/105th of 7 airplanes.
 
7/75 ths when I joined the Cloud 7 flying club soon after getting a PPL. Then 1/8 th of a Starduster Too, followed by 1/1 Bonanza and finally 1/1 Baron. Now its 2/1 (Baron and Porterfield).
 
Well, I guess you could put us down for 1/400th (guesstimate) of 18, including 1 helicopter (R22), 1 motor glider, and 1 twin (Cessna 310), but I really consider it to be zero (0).

Yeah, but you get to fly other people's planes and get paid for it. :)

I've had two. The first was a Cherokee 140, had it for a couple of years then "needed" more performance, so bought the Tiger which I still own.

The best part is that I don't have to write the check for maintenance and other expenses. All I have to know how to do is fill out the maintenance discrepancy form. :)
 
None. But I dream big!

Yeah, tell me about it. :(
 
None yet - but thinking of getting something along the lines of C-150, specially considering where the gas prices are going.

I am sure the 150 burns less than my plane. But my Cherokee with an O320 in it burns just about 8gph. That is not too bad for 120kts of airspeed and 800lbs of payload. Make sure you add that up into your decision.

True - but there is also the actual cost of purchasing the plane and 150s are quite affordable compared to some other options. And if you are mostly flying local it works out well - On the other hand, 120kts at 8gph sounds much better for longer trips. Thanks.

My current fav is the one I get paid to fly & I don't own. It come with an KFC150 co-pilot that flys while I nap :)
 
Lance, how did you like the cirrus? im a "Sunship Game" junkie and love watching George Moffat and Gleb Jerjinski (sp) fight it out in the 69 nationals in their Open Cirri. Burt Compton still flies his dads old Open Cirrus occasionally down in Marfa. No one flying cool stuff like that up here though :( From what ive heard they have a wonderful big cockpit but could use some more ballast.
