The Official "Airplanes I owned before my Skymaster" Thread
I'll start:
Tomahawk (105 knots for 6 gph) C-150J - (95 knots for 5 gph) Geronimo (1958 Apache with lipstick) 135 knots for 16 gph Twin Bonanza J50: 1961 Supercharged - (34 GPH for 165 knots), unless very high (low flight levels), which you could see close to 200 knots - but you better have O2! E55 Baron (great airplane, 180 knots at 8k, 28 GPH) C172P (can't beat it for ease of flight - 110 knots for 8.5 gph) Had it on lease-back at a flight school and it was flown constantly. 58 Baron (Wife liked the club seating, had 310 RAM engines, still 185 knot airplane @ 32 gph) C310F (175 Knot airplane, but would do it on 22 gph) F35 Bonanza (140 knots for 12.5 gph) Sweet flying airplane. You don't have to do the fuel thing, but I thought it was interesting. |
My FT337GP is the first airplane I've owned.

Cessna 177B.

PA24-180 Comanche early 1990’s for a year. My intro to airplane ownership. Rather eye opening.
PA28-140 for about 10 years through early 2000’s. PA32-260 with club seating, best cabin ever! C337G early 2000’s to current. PA24-250 for 4 years in mid 2010’s. Owned simultaneously as my SkyMaster. I was trying to decide which one to keep for my “forever” plane. I chose the SkyMaster. All these planes are fantastic in their own right. 😁✈️ |

As the hangar turns
1970 Maule M4 220C
1978 Cardinal C177 RG 1974 Citabria 7GCBC 150hp 1967 BE D95A Travel Air 1975 BE 55E Baron 1969 C337D I'm pretty much all over the place. I get bored with an airplane and I need a change. I spend too much money and get it right and then I sell it for a big loss. But the fun is there. |
