    I’m a student pilot. Subbing not because of the plane but because of you! The plane just helped me find you. Appreciate your humble and chill approach.

      I appreciate that! Planes are nothing to fool around with. I take a lot of chances in other aspects of life, but flying is not one of them. Good luck on your training! Where are you based?

It's so smooth, and very quiet. Give them a call down in Sebring and see what they have for you. By the way, what are you asking for your highlander?
