  1. I love the Champ. First solo was in one in 1954. Years later I soled two of my four kids in a Champ (not the same one). All four fly and are in various stages of aeronautical accomplishments (ratings). I would love to own another Champ, having a current CFI (ATP, MEI, CFII, etc) rating but no Medical …. didn’t want to go through the hassle and undergo a stress test that my insurance would not pay for … they said it wasn’t needed, given my healthy status. Nice going, OKC.
