REFLECTOR: Velocities are great... but

[nmflyer1 at aol.com]

Mark, 


You are right. That is one of the reasons I will keep my (world's oldest) Cherokee 235. It weighs 1450 empty and 2900 gross. even if I fill it up with 84 gallons of fuel, I can still carry 860 pounds!  Of course it isn't real fast (specially for the fuel burn of 12GPH). 
Looking forward to the speed of the Velocity though for many trips. 


I live at Mid Valley Airpark (E98) in Los Lunas. Work in Albuquerque at the Albuquerque Center. 


Back to the hangar. Slightly warmer today!

Kurt,
We love our canard-pushers cause they're fast and efficient. However no one can deny the old spam cans are very utilitarian, and not unlike a flying light duty pickup truck. I put the C210's in the category of full 1/2 ton flying pickup as they and similars are used as such world-wide.
Great pics, thanks. Where are you in NM?

Ok, so it is kind of slow tonight. Too cold in the hangar after work to get much done. 


This weekend I flew down to Santa Teresa NM to pick up a Christmas present for my 8 year old boy. (They have a great aviation museum down there by-the-way). 


I have decided that even once the Velocity is completed & flying, I will keep the world's oldest Cherokee 235. Not just for nostalgic reasons, but because this thing is a Great Truck!..
