My FT337GP is the first airplane I've owned.

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.

😁✈️

If it had been a PA24-400, I may have kept it! Nothing like 8 cylinders and 400hp!!!

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.

If you get bored with your Skymaster, let us know!
