This is such a depressing thread!

Brings me back to my first solo. The ole 160 hp Piper Warrior never climbed so fast as the day when my instructor got out of the right seat and said "take her around the pattern 3 times" . Oh yeah, it was also about 10*F that day

Here in Eastern Iowa the goose migration gets very heavy in the fall. I always have it on my mind this time of the year. The other concerning thing is they like to fly at night at times. Last night I brought the puppy outside around 11 and heard a large group of geese fly overhead!

Thanks for sharing your purchasing story. I am considering moving away from renting and getting into airplane ownership (potentially a Mooney), so stories like this are reassuring that the process is possible to get through with some sanity left
