Just back from a month overseas, arrived home late tast night and have had only short sleep.<br />However one of the highlights was our visit to PA. <br />I was driving north on IS 19 and saw a building coming up on the right and said to Poss (wife) 'look for a buiding just like that, it will be PA'. It was!!!!<br />A quick U turn and we were there.<br /><br />As we disembarked we saw several people EMbarking a vehicle.<br />So we ended up introducing ourselves to Adam, Joe, Kerrry, Angel, Richard (a buyer) and off to lunch we went.<br /><br />Back at the factory we met Lee Pfingston and Tom Brooks working dilengently, an a/c for Oz owner and lots of great stuff.<br />Adam very graciously showed us the works and discussed many things.<br /><br />Kerry offered a 'ride'; and it was; one of his spectacular proceedures; climb out stalls, VERY steep turns (knife edge) almost inverted flight, negative Gs, positive Gs and vertical drops from 200 feet to a very short water landing, not to mention, low level work, gators eveywhere, touch and goes, emergency step taxy, both FULL BACK and FULL FORWARD stick at high water taxy speed and on it goes.<br /><br />The difference between my Classic and this Co plane is DRAMMATIC.<br /><br />I went straight out and bought a lottery ticket (didn't win, but another may)<br /><br />When I have got back to reality (sigh) will have time to comment further and ?post some pictures.<br /><br />We would like to thank all those at the 'works' for their time and effort in welcoming us.<br />
