manufactured light plane in a similar vein as Wag-Aero’s Sportplane series?

I own a Baron (25 yr. model) so count me in the last group, who enjoyed the article. Besides the fact that the article was about my brand of airplane, the gist of it was that the Baron is an aircraft in which many of the characteristics people like in a plane have all come together. I don’t don’t anyone who has flown a Baron, as an instructor, charter pilot, or owner, who does anything other than rave about it — and that is worth an a article.

I am certainly not in the market for a $1.2M airplane, or a Ferrari, for that matter, but I do appreciate machines that are beautifully designed and manufactured, and would much rather read about them than $130,000 LSA’s. Keep up the good work, and keep your enthusiasm for the things GA is doing right, like continuing to build the Baron for these many decades.
