The PA-28 is quite swish as light aircraft go, much more comfortable than a Spam Can which is only just wide enough for two people and gives you a sore butt after about thirty minutes. When doing AEF with cadets we get to ride in the Tutor, which is both comfortable and the equivalent of an airborne sports car, great fun.

Looks like you all had a grand time Mark, good stuff.

The problem with flying is it's hopelessly addictive and hopelessly expensive, unless you can get somebody else to pay for it. I'm also waiting for my lottery ticket to come in.
