Ok, I'm ~~suitably~~ extremely impressed. This may be, the finest model in my entire hangar.

Thanks for looking.

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

Great shots Larry.........incredible looking aircraft Shocked

"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"

Thanks Justin.

Yes, she sounds, looks, and flies great. The only problem I've had, is slowing down enough to engage the flaps. Grin

It's Digital Aviation's Piper Cheyenne X, which includes the Cheyenne II, I, IA and IIXL. I got it from Aerosoft.

Thanks Doug.

Looks like my bugsmashing fever might have to share some time with a little faster and higher fever. Grin

Don't know if you noticed, but in the second shot, I am leaving Pitt Meadows. I flew up to Comox, and enjoyed every minute.

It is an incredible aircraft. My only complaint, is all the foreign registrations on the liveries I like best. But, I think I know someone that can fix that. Roll Eyes

I have a huge gripe with the foreign registrations too, I would love to get my hands on some US regs.
