Comment on The Longest Cessna Skylane Flight, Ever

That's a really long flight and you handled it all pretty well. There something you didn't mention in your numbers: how much did that flight cost? It was an unique experience, something that's worth putting on your personal records.

That is priceless!!! What a difference a year makes! Unfortunately, our snow people are buried under snowbanks this year. ; )

I own a Cirrus Turbo with FIKI and have to say its a true breakthrough! The Cirrus training for FIKI is excellent! In the northeast I'd much rather bein a Cirrus with FIKI and CAPS parachute than naked Cessna 400. Steve needs to take a ride on my plane!

My gripe is that Cirrus markets FIKI as both a safety feature and one that increases the aircraft's utility. [www.aviationlawmonitor.com/2009/05/articles/general-aviation/recent-crashes-stoke-debate-on-cirrus-safety/] A feature can't do both. Using a feature to increase the aircraft's utility (by, for example, flying in conditions that would otherwise keep you on the ground)necessarily undermines the feature's safety benefits. You can't have it both ways and Cirrus' marketing is asking for trouble.

Seems like just the wrong message. If I can do it...YOU can do it.

What was it they taught us CFI's about hazardous attitudes...MACHO anyone?

That kitty is too puffy to be truly supersonic, but I so appreciate the effort! Being the caretaker of two puffy cats with supersonic ambitions, I can relate....

A very nicely orchestrated illustration, Mr. Wilson!
