EAA pancake breakfast and airplanes

Went to the annual Father's day fly-in / EAA pancake breakfast at my old stomping grounds. Belly full my wife and I walked the ramp snapping pics of cool planes. My wife commented that the Piper Aerostar pictured below looked like it could "get you where you need to go fast"... indeed.

This particular example is a 1982 Aerostar 602P (fun fact: it is sometimes called the Sequoya). It has two Lycoming 540's, is one of 124 built, and is a mid-wing cantilever monoplane.


Couldn't find too much info about this plane except that it is a kit plane, called the "Express 2000", and it has a Continental 550 out front. Coupled with the sleek shape and composite construction, it's not hard to imagine that this puppy scoots!

My old cell phone is gone, it has been replaced by the new 3GS iPhone. The latest flying related app I picked up is called "Airports" by AOPA (in cooperation with the folks at ForeFlight).
