Well, one door closes and another one opens: I agreed to purchase a '75 Beechcraft Sundowner today. Took a test flight, very nice. Will be getting a pre-buy inspection soon. 850 SMOH, 700 SPOH 3,150 TT, long-range tanks. Owned by two A&Ps, one of which is an FAA inspector.
I have been researching this model for three months now and talking to pilots of the C23. Even the ferry pilot for Tripple-Two owned one! Found this particular one while checking out a Piper Warrior II in central Alabama 10 days ago.
May not be as casual to fly as 222, but will serve a purpose to carry family and friends to many places far away.
