    Was the name of my late dad's Cessna. It's a tribute. Guess you are correct, tho. The G13 .. he was a Gunner's mate.

    For military and the big passenger carriers. But thwart won't stop ya from flying private or even a small cargo plane.

    A 172 is a nice ride. I had an '86 a36 bonanza fitted with the garmin1000 avionics. Sadly it had to go with all my other toys when the market fell out the winter of 07.

    Mom sold my dad's when he passed; I was 13. I was born in 61. Bummer for me. Bonanzas are nice; we still go to the airshows...Daughter may go in to the USAF... daredevil she is, LoL. Couldn't find a way to get back in, without military and/or a license. Too old to learn now; wife's afraid of heights, anyway...LoL.

    Its a ##### to learn but you will love it once you learn it. can't hardly call it an avionics package, Its a full bore flight computer that offers pretty much everything the big boys got.

    I wouldn't want to go without a firearm. A rifle. I'd hate to get eaten.
