When I was in Ft Wayne I flew a couple of Tomahawks. The FBO had died and 
his wife was trying to keep the business together so maintenance was 
slipping. Nothing like being in Elkhart looking for somebody to jump start 
the plane so you can go home. The closest thing to A/C was when the latch 
on the gull wing door broke. Luckily it didn't start flapping its wing but 
it did get a little breezy.

I almost bought a 150 but sanity prevailed.
