I remember running that beech with you 18 years ago I believe it had the old inertia starters? anyway if you are still interested in a ride in a beech we look after 3 of them on floats up here in north western ontario (sioux lookout) if you ever find your self looking for a destination in the summer, fishings world class up here.We look after a number of round engines and I agree there is something about the sound, harley davidson of the sky sums it up best. I follow your articles as they are an interesting read with no BS. keep on writing, and if you are ever in the area look me up, we have lots of room. keep in touch.Jason Stillwaugh
