The Skylane is orange and white and seems to be in pretty good shape. I know the Flight Department takes really good care of their airplanes and they're all in very good condition. Can't really say anything about the Chipmunks, though, because they're so old and I've never seen the second one assembled.-------------------------------------------

I heard you were in the market for an airplane. I haven't really followed what exactly you were looking for, though. Thought I'd post this email I got today:

What were the King Airs used for?

Re: FAO Wonnzie
Lately, as an excuse for the student newspaper to repeatedly slam the dept. of Aviation Technology for using too much money*. The King Airs and the Beechjet are/were used for transporting the university president, vice presidents, rich alumnae who we want donations from, etc., and to give the flight students some right-seat turbine time. With the state of the economy and the reduction in funds coming from the Indiana budget, the university is selling the King Airs for budgetary reasons and keeping the Beechjet. Given the difference in operating costs for a King Air and a jet, I guess the President (salary $500,000/year) thinks a status symbol is more important than taking the budget cut seriously. They're also selling off the fleet of ~14 ten year old Piper Warriors (in superb condition, I might add) and replacing them with Cirrus SR22s. That one really annoys me.What were the King Airs used for?

Did they end up selling those airplanes?

I don't make it down to the airport very much anymore so I'm not sure. I assume that they did, since in the past their airplanes have always sold well (very well-maintained, well-equipped, and not very old).Did they end up selling those airplanes?

The Cadet lacks aftmost windows and a baggage door. It's similar to the Cherokee 140, but with a 160hp engine.What's the difference between a Cadet and a Warrior?My school bought that pair of Piper Cadets off of y'all.
