now if you want to talk about pieces of crap, that RG that they have needs to be put to sleep. in the 14 days i've been here, i think it's been down for about 9 days. though i heard that a flight school in daytona just closed it's doors and we might be picking up some of their aircraft, mainly another complex and multi-engine aircraft. i also heard rumors about new all-glass 172's showing up between now and the winter, though i guess they've been saying that for years.
they've also fitted a few of the SP's with diesel engines that burn JetA. i heard that the performance characteristics are much different, though. you have to wait for the engine to power up when you add full power, just like a typical diesel. it's kind of delayed.
