Old vtails are timeless. A design before it's time. Can't disagree with you there. Wish I could of pulled the trigger, but my stomach just kept over ruling my heart. So,for $680 per yr for insurance, $800 annual, I get 135 kts, and a good regional transport. And I still can hang around on BeechTalk!

Very nice!! With a little photoshop, you could make wilber look like your airplane  But it might just be easier to learn how to do a loop yourself!! (And more fun!)

Thanks Mark. Not right away but I think I want to do something with the wheel farings. Blue checker or a touch of the yellow... something. I notice lots of people remove them but I've always preferred the look of the farings.

Well, I've got an IR, over 1000 hrs with 600 in the type. The price I quoted on the annual are for the annual and servicing, any repair is extra. I also get about another $100 off for owner assist.
The 150 is a simple airplane to own and operate.
Best wishes on a good ownership experience.
Rich
