Excellent aircraft! I have had mine for 7 years now.
Tail # 65-12685

I can't seem to take it anywhere without someone saying "I flew this airplane at Fort Rutker, AL"

Very good flying plane - I have updated about everything on it - Engines, Props., Avionics, Glass, Interior & Elevator Skins. I will send pictures when I get some time.

Thanks for the website!
