    Those looks like about the same seats we put in the 787 and I have spent many long hours sitting in them (mind you it was all on the ground and not intercontinental type hours). They do get a little stiff after a while but aren't too awful.

    Back in my instructing days I had a student with a late 50's or early 60's C-150. Somewhere in that time period before they added the back window and still had straight tails. The 150 is pure joy to fly. No bad habits that I remember, and loves to spin. If I was to look for one to upsize the engine and put on floats, it would be one of the vintage that you're lucky enough to own. Can't beat manual flaps for water ops.

    Can you make them weigh any more? :D

    Airbus man, the left and right seats will NOT fit through the cockpit door so it's thru the window...amazing. And of course you know they only weigh a few pounds.

    I love the flap handle as opposed to the electric jobs on the later units I've flown and venturi vacuum...so simple and inexpensive. Of course the flaps are "right now" too which I liked.

    No worries. There is an endless supply of acronyms to figure out.
