  |  Sunset Flight to KFAR
A friend and I were pretty bored so we went and rented a Cadet and flew down to Fargo, we went and got something to eat and then flew back to Grand Forks. I thought these sunset pictures were pretty neat. Enjoy!        |

Nice shots! Looks like fun... I don't understand what's up with the gear handle though...

Nah, I just didn't think Cadets have retractable gear... so why's there a gear handle...?

Yup the silver knob is the primer, as for the gear lever; the plane used to be UND's (from what I was told) and the knob and lights for the gear are there for training purposes. It is not connected to anything and it is there only for flows and getting in the habit to lowering/raising the gear. Would have been awesome if it actually worked, would have improved our 85kt ground speed. |

the gear handle is from when UND had the fake handles in all their airplanes to teach procedures for lowering the gear.
