After waiting for what felt like forever, it's here! Carenado's G1000 equipped Cessna T182T!

Is it Carenado's best? Maybe. It makes me very excited for the future. Having a G1000 opens many possibilities for Carenado, I can't wait!

One problem with high technology is it doesn't always work. I started descending to land at Chiliwack (CYCW...one of my favorites Wink

), and my PFD went kaplooey. Good thing the 182 flies like a dream, I flew it in visual with no problems Wink

Beautiful shots Cool

"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"

The second shot is a real picture Cool

That plane looks good, but I'm really not a fan of these glass cockpits.

Got bloom ?
Got mountains ?
Got damage ?

I like the 3rd one, and I agree with Daube on the glass cockpits...

What a beauty... I thought the screens over at Carenado must have been "touched-up" a little but I was wrong, the paint just literally glows doesn't it?

I must, however, concur with the Right-Honorable Monsieurs Daube and Jan, I don't really like Glass-Cockpits... they're just too... digital-age... it's like flying a plane through your PC or laptop... it's just not right.

...wait a minute... Huh

Good set of photos, we need to get back into flying soon!

(I'm also partial to the ole steam gauges for a simple aircraft, but the G1000 is fun to fly with too
