| 03/09/2022 | 237RJ | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 27803 | This Cirrus is a superb aircraft for cross country flying VFR and IFR. With its Turbo-Engine (witch is easy to handle - thanks to its Turbo-Normalized Tornado Alley System) you can go to any high altitude airport without any hassle. | ||
| 02/23/2022 | 465DS | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 9207 | Really good plane, with the G1000 and GFC700 AP, great cross-country, and great TAS. The owner also is really friendly | ||
| 02/20/2022 | 7577N | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 42735 | Aaron goes above and beyond any other owner I have dealt with renting in P1. His attention to detail is incredible. This airplane is remarkably clean (as in, not dirty) compared to other planes I've flown in the club. It's got all the trimmings in the interior, and is a joy to fly. 77N has been cared for dearly, and renting it is not your typical club rental experience. I'll be back for more. | ||
| 05/01/2021 | 9488G | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 13267 | This plane got some upgraded avionics recently and they did an amazing job. It is a fun plane to fly and the recessed G5’s are super awesome. The owner is also very responsive and super cool. | ||
| 05/01/2021 | 8148F | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 13208 | This is one of my favorite airplanes in the fleet. Tom takes really good care of the plane and he keeps people informed about everything. The plane flies really nicely, is super fast and very fun. I highly recommend getting your Cirrus checkout. | ||
| 05/01/2021 | 44886 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 4 | 13380 | This plane was just added to the Club fleet and it is really nice. Looks like they re-did the interior recently and the paint is really pretty. It flies well and the engine is strong. | ||
| 05/21/2021 | 5396E | 2 | 2 | 2 | 3 | 12992 | This plane needs a lot of TLC, it feels unloved and neglected. Things like the big hole in the ceiling upholstery, loose switches, loose seats... it leaves you with an uneasy feeling about the general safety of the machine and a depressing feeling about the overall state and exorbitant cost of ancient GA planes these days. With that said, it didn't leave me stranded or show signs of mechanical issues. | ||
| 05/02/2021 | 950AC | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 9261 | I have 30+ hours on this aircraft and flew it during the last half of my instrument training and also for the check ride in 2020. Terrence is a fantastic owner and keeps his plane very clean, airworthy, and mission ready! The plane itself is very stable in all three axes which make it a terrific instrument trainer. The 430W GPS is a classic and everything you need for IFR flight with GPS approaches. In early 2021, Terrence removed the old DG and installed a Garmin G5. I just recently flew an IFR XC and this upgrade makes a huge difference. It's fully integrated with the 430W and the HSI provides automatic waypoint updates based on the GPS flight plan. Amazing! Cannot recommend highly enough. Go fly! | ||
| 01/26/2022 | 4420R | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 9175 | Very clean and well kept aircraft. It has great but simple avionics package with the amazing GTN650 paired with 2 G5s and Bluetooth ADS-B in to Foreflight. Would recommend 20R to anyone flying out of CRQ! | ||
| 01/20/2022 | 5908S | 4 | 4 | 4 | 3 | 13036 | I flew this aircraft for an initial Club checkout, as I have the majority of my 3000 hours flying Beechcraft. I was very disappointed to discover the Garmin 530 is in fact not a WAAS unit, contrary to the listing, as I consider that to be a minimum equipment requirement for IFR. I spoke to the owner, who followed up on my flight to see how I liked the aircraft. He said he was not aware of the listing problem, and plans to invest in a new unit as the next aircraft upgrade. The IO-520 engine is very smooth and powerful. Flying characteristics were a delight--pure Beechcraft. | ||
| 01/20/2022 | 7577N | 5 | 5 | 5 | 4 | 42735 | I have taken 7577N on a couple of small trips. On the first trip I was absolutely hooked. The plane was amazingly clean, stocked with useful avionics, has a phenomenal autopilot and is a smooth flyer. The best story I have with the plane was with a friend of mine and his girlfriend. The aircraft was so smooth, she fell asleep in the back seat! I was also pleasantly surprised when Aaron left a note for safe travels, that was much appreciated. I plan on taking this aircraft to Phoenix and Sedona later this month, and I couldn't be more excited. Only minor complaint is that the Intercom ICS is a bit confusing, but that's me being very nit-picky. | ||
| 12/17/2021 | 5908S | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 13036 | Absolutely a joy to fly, VERY FAST and excellent avionics. If you are looking for a great plane for XC flights, this is the one! Owner is very responsive and will address any issues immediately. | ||
| 12/14/2021 | 5291E | 4 | 5 | 5 | 4 | 8391 | One of my favorite planes! Instils confidence, well maintained interior and flys wonderful. | ||
| 12/14/2021 | 797RJ | 1 | 2 | 2 | 4 | 13179 | Apart from the G5s, every part of this plane is falling apart. Really basic stuff, like paneling, windows, seats, loose headset plugs. | ||
| 12/10/2021 | 7620G | 4 | 4 | 4 | 3 | 9231 | Strong engine. Good avionics. True flyer. | ||
| 12/09/2021 | 5396E | 5 | 4 | 4 | 5 | 12992 | One of the best planes at MYF, a little dusty inside but who cares | ||
| 11/27/2021 | 561SA | 4 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 13013 | I flew the aircraft for about 20 hours the past week. Very reliable aircraft especially for flying to high altitude airports. Nice avionics. Auto pilot is currently inop and wish it can be repaired as it is useful for long x country trips. | ||
| 11/27/2021 | 4255T | 4 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 12944 | Smooth power and trims very well. Overall I think this is the best Archer I have flown at Plus One. | ||
| 11/24/2021 | 44886 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 4 | 13380 | Great to have a clean and cost effective plane in the club. It's obvious the owner takes good care of it, it doesn't have oil dripping all over the cowl, it has nice wheel pants, the interior is not falling to pieces.. just an all around great plane! Certainly making it my "go-to" now for single engine ops You'll note the other reviewer didn't put 5 stars for avionics, I'll also give it 4 stars. The avionics and panel are totally fine. It's just not sporting G5s and a 650/750.. (which would push them to a 5/5) but does a PA-28, or really any "trainer" need that stuff? The 430 works great. PS - for a 160 horse this plane climbs superbly well, that's one healthy engine! | ||
| 11/22/2021 | 7577N | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 42735 | Clean, quiet, smooth and fast. Now my go-to 182 in the club. All around great condition, it’s clear this plane has been well loved.. Thank you! | ||
| 11/15/2021 | 4389X | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 12955 | Best avionics and best handling of any aircraft in the plus one fleet! Anyone who loves a low-wing feel with the gear up for increased range needs to pick this plane. | ||
| 10/27/2021 | 5150D | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 13389 | Loved flying this aircraft. It is newly painted, very clean and well maintained. The owner is very kind! Highly recommend this plane! | ||
| 10/04/2021 | 5150D | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 13389 | 5150D must be the best kept secret in the club. Dual G5s and a Garmin 650 make it perfect for IFR training. Also, Pedro is super friendly and responsive to questions. This is now one of my go-to aircraft. | ||
| 10/01/2021 | 5150D | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 13389 | It looks like a new plane that just came off the lot. Scrupulously cleaned inside and out, beautiful paint job. Flies well to boot! Highly recommend this aircraft. | ||
| 10/01/2021 | 737HY | 5 | 5 | 5 | 4 | 13095 | I did my check-ride in this plane for a reason. It's clean, well-maintained and has all the equipment that you need. I did my check ride in it because I found it just flies nice, trims out really well and just handles nicely. | ||
| 09/14/2021 | 4182T | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 12934 | Great 180Hp aircraft! Great VFR and IFR flyer, has the Garmin G5s. This aircraft is extremely well taken care of, beautiful interior on this aircraft also!! One of my favorite aircraft in the flying club! Well worth the price! | ||
| 09/08/2021 | 75605 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 13147 | I'm pretty sure this is the best 172 in KMYF and surroundings. Overall great performance, well maintained, beautiful classic 6-pack, paint and interior looks in great condition and the owner seems to be a person who takes good care of his airplane. If you do the things right you shouldn't have any inconvenient either with the airplane or the owner. I'm definitely flying this airplane from now and forever. My favorite 172. | ||
| 08/31/2021 | 738QA | 5 | 5 | 5 | 4 | 13107 | I remember this aircraft from my initial training days back in 2007-08. Flew it recently again, a very nice aircraft! Nothing fancy but it does the job at a very reasonable hourly rate even today. | ||
| 08/29/2021 | 465DS | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 9207 | Great plane really good maintained, really clean in great condition, Totally recomendable. | ||
| 08/28/2021 | 57679 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 3 | 35992 | Very well kept, clean, flies well, overall a very nice taildragger. | ||
| 08/21/2021 | 75605 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 13147 | Never renting this plane again! Old six pack, old GPS, especially when most of the PlusOne planes at least have the G5’s. Poorly maintained interior of the aircraft, to the point where my passenger was very unsure of flying in the plane. And to top it off, rude owner! But the 180 hp useful load is like the only redeeming quality of this aircraft. | ||
| 07/29/2021 | 16422 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 12527 | Spectacular avionics panel. No steam games here! Comfortable interior too. No broken plastic or worn carpet. The autopilot makes it a relaxing cross country aircraft. It clean, comfortable, and complex. | ||
| 07/26/2021 | 300KZ | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 6204 | This airplane is a pleasure to fly! Frank worked hard to update it with an Aspen Evolution PFD and an AV-30C backup. The JPI engine monitor gives plenty of information to fly the plane efficiently. The interior is pristine, and the engine runs well. This is clearly a plane that is well maintained. | ||
| 07/21/2021 | 9687J | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 13287 | Pros: Strong engine, Great climb rate, Advanced avionics | Cons: Seat does not go up or down and cannot be pushed back far enough for people with long legs. Due to the seat and yoke position, my knees interfere with the yoke. I am happy that the electric trim is installed however, it is slow and I find myself having to use the manual trim above my head. | ||
| 07/19/2021 | 91630 | 3 | 4 | 4 | 1 | 13255 | Flys like most 161s, good price point. | ||
| 07/19/2021 | 5676V | 5 | 5 | 5 | 3 | 8397 | Clean and nice looking, decent power and avionics. ADS-B to Foreflight is a bit laggy. | ||
| 07/19/2021 | 81916 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 13218 | Clean, nice looking and top notch avionics = favorite trainer. Plus it's super cheap! | ||
| 07/19/2021 | 4255T | 5 | 5 | 5 | 4 | 12944 | Great power, comfey as can be expected, decent avionics and autopilot rounds out a great XC plane. | ||
| 07/13/2021 | 5291E | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 8391 | Denny takes very good care of his airplane. It is by far the nicest offering at KSEE. He also owns the Redbird Sim which I highly recommend for IFR Currency and practicing any type of emergency situations. The sim also offers robust syllabi and GIFT training curriculum. 5 stars all around. | ||
| 07/12/2021 | 9488G | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 13267 | Can't beat this aircraft for price and performance. My favorite C-172 in the Plus One fleet @ MYF. | ||
| 07/11/2021 | 4 | 5 | 5 | 4 | 12550 | Large fuel tanks allow you to fly longer legs than most other aircraft in the Plus One fleet. Good avionics too. If it had an autopilot, it would be perfect. | |||
| 07/11/2021 | 561SA | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 13013 | What this aircraft lacks in useful load, it makes up for in speed. A recent flight to KSBP and back averaged 120K ground speed on 11 gph. The fuel injected 180hp engine runs smooth and strong. The larger fuel tanks make up for the higher fuel burn over the 160hp engine in other Skyhawks. I also appreciate the cup holders and more substantial, comfortable seats for the longer flights. Really nice avionics too! | ||
| 07/11/2021 | 4389X | 4 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 12955 | Not only is this a well equipped aircraft, but it has good legs and groundspeed too. The autopilot makes it a joy to fly. | ||
| 07/04/2021 | 4975F | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 12970 | 4975F is my favorite aircraft from plus one. Always well manitained, and feels solid in flights. I've don't cross countries to Camarillo and Chandler and have never had an issue with the aircraft. Fantastic plane and will definitely rent again for my next XC | ||
| 06/14/2021 | 8148F | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 13208 | This is an excellent aircraft. It is very well maintained and reliable. The owner, Tom Reid, treats it with kid gloves and is very responsive and supportive of the pilots flying 48F. | ||
| 06/14/2021 | 106HP | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5981 | I had the privilege of flying N106HP with a CFI today in a back to back High Wing vs Low Wing comparison to see if I had a preference for my coming training. I do favor low wings and this aircraft's finish is excellent and that A/C was incredibly nice to have on a hot Gillespie day. Super stable in angle of bank turns and for this newbie's observation much easier to maintain altitude and angle of bank in a turn in this aircraft than the 172N I flew earlier in the day. I'm 6'3/250lbs so I was filling the cockpit fairly well but if I was 5" shorter and 50lbs smaller, this aircraft would be a perfect fit. | ||
| 06/11/2021 | 9687J | 4 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 13287 | I flew 87J for the first time for my annual flight review. Pre-flight inspection revealed an immaculate airframe and paint scheme that rivals a brand new aircraft. The entire firewall forward looks brand new and the interior is in excellent condition. It's hard to believe this aircraft is about 55 years old. The avionics are outstanding as well. The dual G5 setup provides all the information you need in a reduced instrument scan space. The radios and audio controller are crystal clear. This airplane climbs very well and has great cruise speed and just a slight pull to the right. While landing, it demonstrated good elevator authority, but slightly less rudder authority as compared to its younger cousins. The windscreen is clean and still visible even when flying directly into the setting sun. My only critique is related to the design of the seat, seat rail, and yoke position and has nothing to do with the condition, rigging, or outfitting of 87J. The seat does not move vertically and the forward position that I required for full rudder control put my knees squarely in the way of the yoke. Hopefully, this won't be aproblem for you. | ||
| 06/06/2021 | 44886 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 13880 | Externals look clean and new, but more importantly, the aircraft performed like a champ. Still was able to make an 800 FPM climb at 4000 ft with 2 pilots up front. Avionics worked like a charm. Tuned up the ILS while on the visual approach to RWY 28R at KMYF and verified it works. Definitely a great addition to the club! | ||
| 06/03/2021 | 4389X | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 12955 | I got my complex in this plane and it has been a joy to fly! The avionics are excellent with the dual G5’s and Garmin 530 and the engine monitor. Thank you for keeping your plane at a very affordable price and maintaining it to the highest standard! | ||
| 06/02/2021 | 738TB | 5 | 4 | 4 | 5 | 13118 | Reliable & clean Aircraft. G5 and G430 are great for Instrument training/flight. Price is also very affordable. I've never had an issue, with over 70 hours in 8TB. | ||
| 06/02/2021 | 34CF | 5 | 5 | 5 | 3 | 5987 | The Skywagon is amazing, with a reputation second to none. Go ahead, find another one for rent. This is an unheard of opportunity. | ||
| 05/26/2021 | 106HP | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5981 | I was hesitant to submit this because the A/C is already busy and hard to schedule, and I felt that this would increase the "exposure" and it will be even harder to get my hands on the yolk of this aircraft. This is very will maintained, clean machine with upgraded avionics. The owner is very pleasant, takes good care of it. Very much recommended and that air-conditioning is a life saver on a hot day. Fly it once and you'll get hooked. | ||
| 05/25/2021 | 9488G | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 13267 | Well maintained and looked after, the owner is diligent, friendly and communicative. Tight flight controls, climbs like a beast (for a 172 :p) nice avionics. | ||
| 05/19/2021 | 728TB | 5 | 5 | 5 | 4 | 27382 | Where are all the inop plackards?!?! Everything works. SUPER clean, flies great, equipped for ACTUAL IFR xc flight. The autopilot makes it a great choice for single pilot IFR. One of those planes you want to take people up in their first time in a GA airplane. Oh, wait... Don't fly this airplane. I need it available for my checkride! PlusOne pilots, this is a gem. Let's treat her right! | ||
| 05/19/2021 | 734DN | 4 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 13076 | Your standard 172 with a nice GTN-650 and Garmin G5. Strong magnetos and strong brakes. DO NOT overprime her though- the checklist suggests 3 primes which is what I did on a COLD start as the checklist would direct. This might have been too much as I did end up having to go lean, and full throttle procedure in suspicion of overpriming with only 3 pumps. | ||
| 05/18/2021 | 96621 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 13278 | Dave really cares about putting a quality product on the line, not only that, he is a super personable and nice guy. I always enjoy our chats on the line. Highly recommend! | ||
| 05/18/2021 | 75605 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 13147 | Great clean airplane! The best traditional six pack on the line, I've never come across traditional gauges that are so well maintained. Highly recommend! | ||
| 05/18/2021 | 9488G | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 13267 | Clean and the avionics are great! Highly recommend! | ||
| 05/18/2021 | SIMFM | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | Great Sim! | Denny does a great job keeping the Sim up to date, highly recommend! | ||
| 05/07/2021 | 74881 | 4 | 5 | 5 | 4 | 9219 | |||
| 05/07/2021 | 74881 | 4 | 5 | 5 | 4 | 9219 | Took this new AA5 out to SBA last week. No autopilot, but great cruiser trimmed out. In addition to the awesome GTN650, it has a very cool digital round AI/HSI with moving map - first of its kind that I've seen. You can scroll through HSI/GPS/VLOC or show the moving map. You can also set altitude reference, heading, OBS, etc. by touchscreen. I wasn't getting ADSB-In traffic, however, on the GTN650. Nice paint job. Great for the weekend hop! An AP, ADS-B flightlink from the GTN to ipad, and music inputs would put this at 5 stars on my list. | ||
| 05/01/2021 | 106HP | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5981 | This is the airplane I choose to rent on a consistent basis. Very well maintained and clean. Fairly priced per hour. | ||
| 08/04/2022 | sterpstra | 172SX | 5 | 5 | 5 | 3 | 12550 | I love this airplane. I fly it frequently and between the super responsive and amazingly friendly owner/mechanic, the plane flies very nicely. I'm not a huge fan of the AV-30 instruments but maybe one day they will be replaced with Garmin. Aside from that, nothing but glowing remarks for this plane. | |
| 08/04/2022 | sterpstra | 2462P | 3 | 3 | 4 | 4 | 12676 | I have a soft spot for G1000's. It is one of the original G1000's so it isn't WAAS. Gotta be careful not shooting an RNAV and using LPV minima but aside from that, it's pretty solid. | |
| 08/05/2022 | sterpstra | 210BX | 3 | 3 | 3 | 2 | 12582 | The 210 is a great platform and this plane is fun to fly. She is fast, nice looking, and smooth. My biggest gripe is that I wish the owner would update the avionics. If this plane had a nice avionics upgrade, I would bet it would be flying its wings off. I’ll fly it on occasion to keep proficient, but I definitely think it needs a makeover. | |
| 08/05/2022 | sterpstra | 3803E | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 12922 | The plane flies well (and a lot) it just needs a bit of avionics updates. A couple G5's, remove all the old stuff that isn't even used and this plane will be even better. It works for training though. | |

| 08/11/2022 | sterpstra | 237RJ | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 27803 | This is one of my go to airplanes for cross country trips. I am not fond of the hangar it is in but I understand there is little the owner can do because of the city lease issues. The Avidyne IFDs take a LOT of getting used to, especially if you are familiar with Garmin. Overall though, it works well and gets the job done. A little more TLC would make it a way better 22 but it works. | |
| 08/11/2022 | sterpstra | 256J | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 31547 | I would love this airplane more but it hasn’t been available long enough to get more out of it. It has been in maintenance seemingly longer than it has been available to us. The avionics are awesome and the MT props are super quiet. | |
| 08/11/2022 | sterpstra | 4389X | 2 | 3 | 2 | 2 | 12955 | The G5s are nice but it would be substantially better if there was a little more effort put into the panel. It is like flying a 50’s Chevy Truck. It isn’t really my first, second, or third choice but it is decent enough if you need to go a tiny bit faster and want a retractable gear. | |
| 08/11/2022 | sterpstra | 5150D | 4 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 13389 | If you can get it, this plane is da bomb. Excellent price point, good avionics, easy to communicate with the owner. This is my 172 of choice. I think this spends more time in the air than on the ground. | |
| 08/11/2022 | Rodabaugh | 738FY | 4 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 52990 | Strong performing aircraft with an electric constant speed 3 bladed prop. One of the few C172 aircraft with an autopilot, this aircraft is perfect for cross countries. Its comfortable, great looking, and very affordable. | |

| 08/16/2022 | sterpstra | 3386E | 4 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 12901 | Nice airplane, with some great avionics comparatively. It flies nice and makes for a nice cross country bird. | |
| 08/16/2022 | Rodabaugh | 4255T | 3 | 2 | 3 | 3 | 12944 | The best things about this airplane are the GTN 650 GPS and the STEC autopilot. There is no COM/NAV 2, but I just use the monitor function on the GTN650 to pick-up ATIS and other transmissions. The engine monitor is a nice addition as well. The 180 HP motor allows excellent climb performance. The DG presesses too much to be reliable for IFR training but the value this aircraft offers can't be beat. | |
| 08/16/2022 | sterpstra | 1784R | 4 | 4 | 5 | 4 | 12571 | This is a great club airplane. It is an excellent transition airplane for those moving to HP/Complex and an even better airplane for cross country flights with an excellent useful load. This is one of my go to airplanes for cross country rentals with my family. Thanks for having a great plane like this in the club! | |
| 08/19/2022 | capassoma | 733JW | 3 | 3 | 2 | 4 | 13064 | This plane looks so-so on the outside but is a good flyer. Well balanced on the controls, easy to trim. | |

| 09/01/2022 | Tmacf123 | 106HP | 4 | 5 | 4 | 5 | 5981 | This plane is awesome. I love the A/C, it actually works! It is IFR rated too. It has a Carb Ice Detector which is pretty cool for IFR. It feels solid, lands nicely and I can't wait to fly it again! | |
| 09/01/2022 | lengrep | 465DS | 4 | 3 | 3 | 4 | 9207 | I've flown a variety of aircraft, but nothing as modern as a DA-40. This airplane is very well maintained, and equipped with a WAAS G1000 and excellent integrated autopilot. The airplane's handling is very different from a Cessna, but something you can adapt to fairly quickly with good instruction. It's a very light airplane with a very lightly loaded wing. The great visibility also means lots of sunlight. It can get pretty toasty on a hot day. | |

| 09/06/2022 | wtbussick | 210BX | 3 | 3 | 4 | 2 | 12582 | Excellent performer and one of the fastest planes in the fleet. The lack of avionics is disappointing however. If there was an avi upgrade, this bird would be checked out non stop. | |

| 09/08/2022 | krcolman | 16422 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 4 | 12527 | A great airplane. Wonderfully maintained and nice interior. Great avionics for inst work or CCX. | |
| 09/09/2022 | victorperez | 75605 | 5 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 13147 | This airplane is one of my favorites in the club. It has plenty of power with 180hp all at your disposition while taking off. | |
| but remember do NOT overprime and do NOT overcrank the engine starter. Read the instructions and you should be fine. | |||||||||

| 09/18/2022 | Amjaffer | 5208D | 4 | 4 | 5 | 4 | 12982 | Fantastic airplane and handles like a champ, especially with the new engine! Perfect for a quick flight around san diego. | |
| 09/22/2022 | patrickcanler | 7620G | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 9231 | This plane is awesome! Amazing avionics, great power, and such a stable and smooth platform. Love this plane. | |
| 09/26/2022 | artc25 | 44886 | 5 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 13380 | Flew 44886 for the1st time today. Great airplane with nice avionics. Flies very nicely. Slick airframe and wings make it faster but a little more work to land than older Hershey bar wing PA28s. Exterior looks like a newer plane. Interior is nice and clean. Would recommend for traveling or taking new passengers to relieve some anxiety of flying in older planes. Will use this plane more often. | |
