The grin pretty much says how I feel about what I do:

Cool reg number, too. Got the "N", got the "H", all threes in between... gotta be something karmic about that!  ;D

Saaaaay.... that doesn't look like a 1946 Ercoupe!

Either that or [photo]shopic. :)

I don't have control of that particular girl anymore, so I can't really have her N-number plastered about.  I love her, but, she's not mine anymore.

Yep.  SR-22G2.  I train people to fly it initially, and 6 or 12 month recurrency for insurance certificates.  I have about as much time as anybody in them and had ~ 250 hours as an instructor in them flying in the right seat before I ever got to sit left seat in one (this one).  It's fun to fly and the only plane I've really felt comfortable flying back and forth across the country (including airliners).

Cool! I have about a dozen bootleg hours of "pilot most definitely not in command" right-seat time, in 152s and 172s, courtesy of an Army buddy who belonged to Darmstadt Flying Club while we were stationed in Germany in the '80s. (He was a Humpty-Diddle graduate, and is now a big muckety-muck for Air France.)

When I was a kid of 9 or 10, a close friend of my parents moved back to town. He had spent years down in Texas restoring crashed airframes, and he loaned me all his ground school books. I had those things so memorized, I probably could have aced the test!  ;D

I always figured that if I won the lottery, I'd get my ticket and buy a Porsche-Mooney, or possibly build one of the really advanced kits. But looking at the numbers on the SR-22, I'm really impressed, especially since it's fixed gear.

Strap on some oxygen, cruise at 85% turbo at FL 250, and get almost 14 mpg.  ;D
