Well if a PA46 is a Cub Jonathan you are well on your way to being a successful aviation reporter for the average media outlet. However, me thinks it was a Malibu of some sort, the weather was IMC and it didn't quite work out as planned. More to come.
Monte: I hate to ask it but where in all this have you seen reference to "CUB". I have looked this thing over going and coming and can't find it.
Sorry Preach, didn't mean to confuse, but it was originally posted as "Piper Cub" not Meridian, and I thought I might point out in my own subtle way that a PA46 and a Cub are two different kettles of fish. Then an admin. edited the banner and there you have it! Thanks Torsten, they thought I had gone round the bend.
Well, you are getting old. LOL
Yeah, but it beats the alternative!
Well, this is true.
