Then again, I'm sure even James understands the value of a well-timed split-S in removing an especially tight pair of panties.

Probably not, I doubt if it's IFR (Instruments) equipped and certified.

That's what I thought. I'm actually a bit disappointed that he didn't get a Piper Cub

Good work hokiethang, that kind of thing is untoward.

But before the link got redacted, I looked at it and Jame's airplane was made in 1999... so I guess it is second hand after all. I guess he just got a fresh coat of candy red paint.

Awesome little plane and he looks like a kid on Christmas morning in that first picture. That registration code is pure brilliance! images/smilies/lol.gif I wonder if it will be making any guest appearances on television in the future?

!! Warning, boring stuff up ahead. If you do not wish to read it all, here's a nice kitten !!
http://www.kentmarshall.com/photos/Kitten_and_Roses.jpg

To begin with it doesn't appear to have vital and basic Instrument Flying Rules equipment such as a VOR-receiver. While the picture of the cockpit posted by someone else has a GPS-device, GPS navigation is not allowed as a primary navigation device in Europe, partly due to lack of accuracy (and WAAS groundstations). The fact the aircraft is open on the sides don't help much either, and I believe (unsure) IFR aircraft need to be certified to withstand a lightning strike, and I'm not entirely sure something this small is. images/smilies/lol.gif

As said, I'm not entirely sure about the last bit. Legislations occupy the brain too much, I rather forget them as soon as possible. images/smilies/zzz.gifimages/smilies/mrgreen.gif
