Can't wait for this one and the T-6

When the T-6 comes out, I'll be in full-on can't-wait, hit-refresh, need-it-now mode.

For the Comanche, my mode is more seems-really-interesting, not-the-kind-of-thing-I-fly-that-much-anymore-but-they've-got-my-interest-piqued-a-lot-more-than-I-would-have-expected-so-I-guess-I'll-check-it-out-'cause-their-stuff-is-really-good.

From the standpoint of my wallet, it comes to the same thing... :cool:
 
This is a 'must have' for me as the Comanche is a special plane. It is the last plane in my logbook before I ran out of flying funding, it gave me my high performance sign off, it made me feel like all that time and money invested in flight training had paid off when I got to fly it solo. I felt my skills as a pilot had matured to the point where I felt real comfortable flying, and thus it was the plane I took lots of friends and family in, many their first time in a small airplane. It gave me my first and only actual Solo IMC time in my logbook. I was working on my CFI before running out of funds, so I learned to fly from the right seat. I learned so much flying from the right, my VFR flying vastly improved. Very much looking forward to reuniting with the plane that made me a pilot.

That makes complete sense - with that kind of history, how could you not be eager for it...?

Personal connections make a huge difference. Back when I thought I was going to go for my PPL, I was a hardcore GA simmer - hand-flown instrument procedures, sheafs of paper charts, the works. I would have been all over the A2A GA stuff. Since that didn't work out and likely won't, my connection to GA weakened and my simming branched out, mostly to vintage gas-guzzling noisemakers, not always flown according to modern rules... In a way it's been liberating, not having to conform to reality. So the T-6 fits my, um, new, relaxed style.

That said... I have to note also that I bought all the A2A single-engine warbirds and then put them on the shelf for a couple of years because I wasn't up to handling them. Now I'm logging more time in their Spitfire than in anything else. Their stuff has a way of drawing you in in spite of yourself. Which means I'll probably be toward the head of the line for the Comanche - this could be the GA that pulls me back in...
