My Planes
(Formerly)

       
       
   

  This was my 1972 Decathlon    
       
       
   

  This was my 1970 Cherokee    
   
 

The Cherokee was my first plane.  I bought it after finishing my flying lessons.  N5865U was a great flying machine.  Selling it was one of my saddest days.

The Decathlon was a great training plane.  My Slipping and landings greatly improved while owning it.

Although the popular wisdom is the two happiest days in a pilots life are when he buys a plane and when he sells it.  I don't agree.  I miss both of these planes.

I'm not currently flying, But I think of it often.
