There was an ad up in COPA for a share in one near YOW if I recall, if it was closer to home I would be all over it. Those things are 40K tops and burn nothing per hour. Smaller tank only about 2.5 time so perfect to fart around in a have fun on a budget. Also huge baggage compartment to toss Gerry cans in and a tent and still have room for beer.

There used to be several (?) at CYRP near Ottawa.

Funny how you get clusters of oddball types. My current hangar row
includes at least two Baby Great Lakes, at least one Waco, and a bunch
of Pitts. I probably missed some Hatz and Skybolts.

I like to think it's the cool kids lunch table, but in truth it's more likely
the corner where they send the dunces.

The Tesla model S 100D - that's pretty slow, isn't it?
