Yup a Cher. 6 is a really good solid a/c. Flown them
many times. Piper Lances are also really good solid
plane. Wish I owned one... Either..
I'd also say that Owen is a good solid pilot that does
not do stewpid things in airplanes, at least not the
several times I have flown with him in the bay area.
I do believe he has flown a similar route many times and
knows the area and its risks.
Bottom line is that if I was still living in the bay area
I'd take Owen up on this offer, as long as I got to log
some of the time!.
Yes I Am A Pilot or is that YIAAP.ORG ?
