Prebuy and annual in the Northeast?

The closest place I've seen mentioned on this board is Brooks field in southern Michigan. Anyone know of anything closer?

I gained about 60lb doing a major upgrade on my 340. One single box that wasn't even hooked up (old inverter) was 11lb by itself.

I've seen one D where they copied the takeoff and landing weights incorrectly - they gave it the T337D weights. That's about a 70lb bonus on each end.

Find a list of the most produced aircraft by type, with the obvious 172 at the top. Go down the list in descending order until you find the 337. Every plane above that will get an autopilot STC first.

Most starters specify the max cranking period in seconds and the min rest period in minutes, not the other way around. I'd start flying with a spare from now on.
