This airplane likes to fly and Beverly and I are getting busy with other things. I also realize that I have no goals left to achieve with this aircraft, so I am focusing on flying a company Cheyenne while focusing on Beverly and I doing other things together.

This beautiful twin comanche is at least one of the best maintained in the fleet, and owes me absolutely nothing. I’ve been able to parlay what I’ve learned flying her into careers at the airlines; with FlightSafety; and with my current company. Owning and flying this machine has given me many amazing experiences, and I’m sure it will bring it’s next owner the same joys.
