i don't know squat about aircraft, but that looks baller.

 

I have zero plane experience, but I can see that someone brushed (with paint or something similarly crappy) the pedal area of the "driver's" side. Or whatever it's called in plane talk.

edit - doh, beaten by Russ.

 

Wow, that looks so sweet. Congrats! Would love to see some pics.

 

Wow, that's an awesome plane. Can't wait to see more pics. Congrats to Jaime!

 

Congrats Jamie. A set of HRE's would look GREAT on it!

 

Congratulations Jamie!

 

congrats J!

 

Methinks you dudes have been punk'd by our wealthy redneck friend!

The object of my desire:

2007 CESSNA TURBO 182T For Sale At Controller.com

They've made me an offer, but I still think it's too much. If I got it, I'd paint the stripe bright yellow and do the wheel pants in red.

 

doh! Russ!

 

Very nice, I like the 182 very much, I have flown many 182's and 172's. My father used to have a 185 Sky Wagon. He has also had 2 Cirrus SR22's. They are phenomenal planes. I think you can get some great deals on a used Cirrus SR22 GTS, it has a more useful payload than the 182 if I'm not mistaken. It's faster, has a longer range. I don't know where you live, but unless you are up in the mountains or high altitude, I wouldn't get the Turbo Charged version.

Either way, let us know what you get when you get it. Both would be lots of fun.
