Larry said it was OK to mess with this a little so here I am in my dreamplane just off 34 at McGrath, AK. Did that lots in a 140 but never in a 185

Nice shot Dave.

Is the 185 that much different?

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

Start with that extra 215 hp - constant speed prop - need to lock the tailwheel for takeoff. All indicating a real torky devil at the start. After airborne, backoff the takeoff power, manage the cowl flaps, fuel flow etc. and she's just another good flying Cessna, just not quite as thrilling as a 140 - besides I couldn't afford the blue gas

Beauty

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"
