Ten years of flying a wonderful Columbia 350 which I thought I would fly forever.
Pressurization is a game changer says all of BT who have it.
Baron 58P, Malibu/Mirage, Meridian, TBM: All great airplanes.
However my heart was taken by the Aerostar and 5.5 PSID
240 KIAS at FL230 with a 7000 foot cabin is my new happy place.

I had the pleasure of meeting and Flying with Lester Kyle-Aerostar instructor for decades. We met at Coeur d' Alene, Idaho on Thursday then flew to Norfolk, NE on Friday afternoon then to Millington RGNL near Memphis and then on to his home in Vero Beach Florida on Saturday. Training Sunday and Monday am then I flew home to Charlotte Monday. Over 2600NM not counting training in Vero Beach. A day off from flying today to catch up on work and hopefully back in the cockpit tomorrow.

That is a magnificent ride, Brad. Piston life does not get much better than that!

Brad, that's as good as it gets in the piston twin world, in my opinion. Fantastic planes, especially the 702P. Marvelous traveling machine that will give turbines a run for the money. In fact, in the London to Sydney race many years ago, a Superstar 700 averaged 276kts on that trip. Averaged! It beat the King Airs to Sydney.

Enjoy yours!

Brad,

Enjoy N27NP she always treated us well. I have lots of fond memories of trips taken and places visited. Glad to see she went to a good home.

Thank you for the kind responses guys :thumbup:

Since last Thursday I have flown in my A* every day but Tuesday (had to work to pay for gas) and have 27 hours so far.

WOW, THIS IS FUN!

Brian,

Did you put spoilers on or she had them all ready?

Congratulations on the Aerostar. I have about 750 hours in the type. I love the cell shades over the eyebrow windows. You should have many many years of enjoyment.
