That's not a sight or camera angle you see every day! (and I am okay not seeing it too) Glad they recovered. Dean

Michael Congratulations and welcome! Goodland KS, is a bit of a distance - they had (pre-covid) a great breakfast place on the field. If/when they reopen - I'd be happy to meet up sometime - or some place between Denver and KC. I will be making a trip to the Little Apple (Manhattan, KS) to...

Welcome to the group! I am not in your area - but - I've had 42w (a 114) in your area (KSNH) - Savannah, TN. It's a great plane/platform. It's a great plane, but, I am more than a little biased. LOL I am sure some folks will pipe up that are around the area you mentioned. If you have...

Michael - welcome and it sounds like you have a great start on your search - Good luck Dean

congratulations

Doug, Nice way to keep a spare prop around and get good use out of it! LOL Dean

Bill, I was in a similar state as Stephen. I had a long absence from aviation and decided it was time to get back into. I had narrowed my search down to TB-20 and the 114. I got to sit in a TB-20 and see a 114. I found 42w in Texas, the owner brought her over to a shop for a pre-buy and...

Dennis - welcome! What everyone says about Judi! -- LOL -- While she didn't help me find 42W - she was INSTUMENTAL - in the process. She knew all about 42W's history and with her help and this forum I found a shop that knew Commanders for the pre-buy and an instructor to do the required 5...

I read about this on another forum which had stopped at his ditching. It didn't have the "pilot's" commentary - but - wow. There are so many bad decisions, that you wonder how he made it through life prior to this series of events, incidents and accidents. Glad he is alive - and glad/hope...

William - welcome to the group! You will find the a Commander very capable and comfortable. In addition to all the wonderful advice you are getting/will get :-) --- make sure you are realistic about your "mission" - how many people, how far, baggage, typical field/density altitude etc...

Joe... good luck and welcome

JATO - LOL!!!!!! Those are actually wickedly cool to watch. I was thinking when I was in Leadville with 42W - they might be needed -- that was the longest high speed taxi/take off roll I've ever had. Love the humor guys - thanks for helping me laugh on a Tuesday! Dean

I have never really been tickled yet by anything a controller says. I mostly hear a professional hurried individual. Sometimes, I hear some cranky-ness or some emotion when someone doesn't get it or doesn't do what they are told..... However, coming back from Cheyenne WY on Saturday - I had a...

Gary - this looked like a fun run with good times and good food. Dean

Stephen - here is a link to Amazon with the ladder info...

My mom has some friends in the Houston area who are having heath problems and she probably won't get to see again, so I said - let's make this trip happen. As long as the weather is good, I will get 42w ready and we can do this. That was the reason for the post about Houston for info. I...

I was surprised to see a Commander on the ramp as I was taxing in. I’d just finished 6.5 ish hours (Houston, Norman OK, and home) so didn’t stop to check in or take a pic. But I did a double take and sure enough, N4984F was sitting on the ramp. It’s kinda nice...lol dont know if they are a...

Anyone have good intel on airports east of Houston? I need to get to Huffman, TX about 12 miles east of Bush (KIAH) I am swinging down from Denver, to Norman, OK to pick up my mom and take her to see a friend who is in hospice care in Huffman. I am thinking of either Baytown (KHPY), Liberty...

Hey welcome! The turbo or turbo-normalized here is amazing. My 114 and I are based out of Front Range now KCFO. Good luck in your research and your search. Dean
