Some of you may yawn and say whatever...that's cool. But when the only thing you've flown is a 152, it's kinda nice to try something new.

And all I could say was wow!

The visibility is awesome, it's remarkably responsive and easy to fly. Every turn wants to be a steep one. Reminds me a lot of driving a late-model Miata.

Gonna get fully checked out on it for rental purposes. It's only about 15% more to rent one vs. a 172 and just as fast, with a nice avionics stack.

Very, very cool. Lots of fun. And that's why we do this, right?
