Yup a Cher. 6 is a really good solid a/c. Flown them many times. Piper Lances are also really good solid plane. Wish I owned one... Either.. I'd also say that Owen is a good solid pilot that does not do stewpid things in airplanes, at least not the several times I have flown with him in the bay area. I do believe he has flown a similar route many times and knows the area and its risks. Bottom line is that if I was still living in the bay area I'd take Owen up on this offer, as long as I got to log some of the time!.
