    I think quite a few of us are pilots....see lots around the fbo lots where us corporate/freightdogs tend to park....and seen quite a few at the FAA facilites...heck everytime i go to HPN, it seems there is a mini parked next to avitat by the tower....
    I fly pc-12's, SA-226/227's (merlin IV/mettroIII), c-208's, and 404's....
    Funny thing is my gen1 mini's trunk seems to have the perfect sized trunk for my rollerbag!!

    A little over 8000 hour operating big fat aerospace vehicles. C5, DC10, C141, B727

    As the saying goes " they installed landing gear on this aircraft so we don't have to jump out.
    I have dropped a lot of other stuff out the back besides people, though.

    Great pictures! But what, no pilot relief tube?

    Yea, those trailer draggers outta be out on the 4 lanes where they belong and leave the good roads to those who know what to do with them.

    Our butts were hurting after 3 1/2 hours. I also planned to stop because a weather system was over my destination airport so I needed to give it more time for the front to move the bad weather out. Granted the 'better' weather was about 4 mi. visibility and ceiling 2,000 ft above the ground.

    Me too. Gave it up a few years ago when fuel really skyrocketed... Learned and flew a Piper Warrior and a Cherokee 180, and Cessna 150s and 172s occasionally... I can go so much farther per dollar in my Mini R50 or my Harley though... :Thumbsup:
