    Bitter sweet moment that I’m happy you’ve achieved. I understand the mere cost of storing one aircraft much less maintenance on two of them! If they are a toy with thousands going out every month, with no real return. Yes! Downsize to a single aircraft you that’s perfect for your needs, even a little overkill was the right decision!

    The best part of the twin will be getting VFR to 7500 feet fast on hot days then to new normal flight levels. 10,500 and higher. Nice and cool on hot days. Your no longer stuck low and sweating. I am a twin pilot in AZ. Many times I didn't go IFR because they kept me low when it's 105. Lol

    I felt the same way when I sold my first car. It was a 1985 Ford Crown Vic. I loved that car. It was a piece of junk, had all sorts of quirks like if the radio got all static-y and started cutting out, you could smack the top of the dashboard good and hard and it would fix the radio. I would own another one in a heartbeat.

    • @PTRRanger951
      @PTRRanger951 26 днів тому

      Lol my first car was a 1996 CVPI. Bought it from the first security company I ever worked at. I bought it with about 180k on it for 1,200. Needed a new intake manifold, and once that was replaced it ran awesome.
      Until I ran over a spool of thin metal wire like baling wire and it got around the drive shaft and blew the seal on the transmission. Caused it to need a rebuild. Never ran the same after that.

    • @PianomanKY

      @@PTRRanger951 that sucks, I never had a PI. I later bought a 99 CV. It was white and "looked" like a cop car. Always ticked me off that when I'd get behind someone on the freeway they'd slow down cause they saw me in the rear view and thought I was a cop lol. Crown Vics were great cars.

    I don't remember if Lil Red is your first airplane or not. But when I sold my first airplane there was sadness. What helped me feel better about it was to realize that I never owned my airplane. I was merely someone on a long list of people who took care of her. And that the best that I could do was take good care of her for the next person on that list. We are not airplane owners. We're merely temporary stewards.

    Oh, I now to a mental check when I start my vehicle in the mornings before I drive off to work:
    1. Doors locked
    2. Seat belt on
    3. Sun roof shade closed
    4. Foot on brake
    5. Start engine
    6. Parking brake off
    7. Radio on
    8. Check display console; all indicators look good
    8. Check display console for tire(s) pressure PSI
    9. Check gear to make sure it is in Park
    10. Rev engine once; no odd sounds, sounds good
    10. Check heat/AC (whichever is weather applicable)
    11. Slide open drivers side window and yell out "K-Pop!" 😃
    12. Close drivers side window
    13. Place vehicle gear in reverse and slowly reverse out of parking spot
    14. Look to my left for traffic (right side is just a wall)
    15. Check rear view mirror and also rear view camera as I slowly back out of parking stall
    Note: I do put on my prescription eye glasses before doing #4 above

    I know your new ride has air conditioning, but for the new owner of Lil Red, pick up a Zero Breeze Battery Powered AC...I carry one in my Skylane. It weighs all of 23# and sits easily in the baggage compartment. It can run on battery for three hours and it has a remote control. I use mine on the ramp to cool everything down. Makes the Florida heat just a bit more bearable, so it would definitely handle any Texas heat.

    You never know where life takes you Kay. You might end up with another Piper Cherokee 180 later in life. It might not have the same serial number, but still another Lil Red.

    L'il Red, may you enjoy safe flights for many years to come. What an excellent aircraft! 🛩️

    I'm looking forward for some international flights with the Seneca. Cancun maybe?
