I flew in this plane last summer out of Latrobe, Pa. It was a thrilling ride, indeed! Watching those control cables moving thru the bulkheads working the rudder and flaps was impressive as you tried to avoid grabbing onto them as you walked through the plane. The ride was so bumpy, you had to grab onto something to steady yourself, but don't grab the cables! If you don't mind spending the money, this is a ride of a lifetime and one for your bucket list!
