Welcome!

I am also part of the PA34 "Twice the trouble, twice the fun club" ;) I have a 1981 Seneca III. I am based in Oregon now but growing up I was often in Toledo with my grandparents and extended family.

I am heading to Oshkosh tonight via Spirit airlines. Wish me luck! I am flying direct into Chicago and then making the trek to Oshkosh. ;)

Thank you! So far it’s been a trouble free year…that being said, it’s going into annual next week so 🤞.

If I have my timelines correct, looks like somebody swapped the cowlings to the current design. IIRC, de-icing is somewhat rare for this vintage. Any other upgrades?

Thanks everyone!

As for the upgrades…yes it does have the Lopresti cowlings and all available speed mods for the Seneca. It has Gami injectors, one piece windshield, VGs, Oxygen, and the boots.

So, the boots were added just after the original buyer took delivery…it also started with a different N number…it’s funny what you learn when reading those logbooks.

Anyway…it’s been quite a learning experience…I only started flying a few years ago and got my multi engine in this plane…I am lucky to have a lot of good people around me to keep me on my “A” game.

Thanks for the welcome and have been reading all the old posts to pick up as much info as possible.
