Hello All.

I am new to this site, but not to the 337. I grew up flying 3rd row in the 70's.

Now thinking about getting one myself, or perhaps a Beech Duke. Not sure yet.

During this exercise of making up my mind, I've made a few maps -- as thats what I do for my other hobby. Hoping that the distribution by year would perhaps show a method to the madness.

I used the FAA aircraft registration db to make a map of 337's -- I've not shown the few that are in Europe with N numbers, and for some reason about 25 would not georegister. My apologies to those in Puerto Rico, who made up the majority of this number.

Hopefully this might be of interest to others, but as for myself I see no pattern outside of Florida -- excepting for registration addresses being concentrated in metropolitan areas.

Cheers,

Mark
