Great pics Jake. Do you work on planes? I just spent $2000.00 for a complete exhast systen for my PA28-235. And we thought L parts were high.

Heh, when you see them all squeezed in together like that in the picture they almost look like toy planes in a toy box. I kept wanting to pick one up and fly it around with my hand while making zoomy-zoom jet sounds.

Do you work at the hangar or something? Heh, yeah, that would be pretty cool coming to work in the morning and finding those in there...

Jerry,

A Cherokee is a fine airplane. I spent many a year working on those and Cessna, Beech, other Pipers, etc. etc. etc. I feel I am very fortunate now to be working on Cessna Citation and Gulfstream aircraft.

Martyr,

"zoomy-zoom jet sounds" I LOVE IT!!!

"Do you work at the hangar or something?" This reminds me of a question my future mother-in-law asked me way back when. I told her I was an aircraft mechanic. She asked me if I worked at an airport. I said, "No, when an airplane comes in for maintenance, we remove the wings and truck the plane down to a service garage. After we're done fixing it, we truck it back to the airport and put the wings back on. It then flys away." The scary part is, she believed me! I did set her straight, but I was bust'in a gut!

Jake...

Don't even think about swapping engines.
The rest of us would never have a chance.
Great pics, thanks for sharing.

Hi Mark,

Lets run the afterburner idea past Jim...I'm sure that he will want two , and we'll share the spare

We might even be able to install water injection with one of our intercoolers...then there is your electric fan for added thrust ....the possibilities are mind boggling

I'm getting withdrawal. I usually see them about once a year. They weren't here in Michigan last year, and aren't gonna be this year. I don't know what gives.
