I want to thank everybody for injecting your thoughts so far and I hope I see more input from you and others as this lingers on.
Regardless what I do, I do expect some level of ridicule or criticism and some of it just might be justified to some degree but I have big shoulders covered with some pretty tough skin so I can handle it.
On the flip side, I know there will be some other people who will drool, gawk and wish and that helps counterbalance the naysayers.
Honestly, I've had zero desire to compete with Sierra on the airshow circuit though she probably could have held her own okay but that's just not me.
What I have enjoyed the most is sharing her with people I've bumped into over the years who have interest in simply looking, touching and talking. The seemingly endless conversations I've had with total strangers talking about this plane has been reward enough......there are some very kind people out there with different backgrounds but talking airplanes is a common thread and fun with a capital F.
Uncle Eddie does it all the time cuz planes like Woodstock are a magnet and people just have to look, touch, feel and talk....just ask him.
It's encouraging to read some suggestions here to shoot high and go for the gold and to Brian's point, I could list her at 30K and still take some negative hits.......go figure, I guess.
I appreciate everybody's input and hope to see more as I'm absorbing your thoughts more than you know.
I'm selfish so keep it coming.
Jim
