AZTECPILOT,
Just curious; do you own/fly an Aztec or are you an Aztec?  Either  way, 
it's intriguing.    I don't fly anymore but I'm reminded  that it was from the 
proceeds of the sale of my 1979 Piper Dakota  that I bought a black 560 SEC 
Cpe for myself and a white one  for my wife. That was decades ago and 
though I've had had some  serious maintenance expenses to keep my Cpe running, it 
is less  expensive to maintain than airplane and the joy  of owning a Cpe 
is somewhat similar (for me anyway).  
Kind regards,
Ernie

I have a nice 1990 SEC with about 113,000-114,000 miles on it. No mods,  
strictly original,
no wrecks, one minor rust repair on inside of left front fender, repair  
was well done.  Exterior is champaign with nice tan leather interior.  Good 
glass, good dash pad. Same owner since 1996. Always garaged. No  apparent oil 
consumption between changes at approximtely 5000 mile  intervals. Recent 
head gaskets, new battery, muffler and tail pipes.  Since 1996, all service 
done work has been done by Star Motors  in Mission, Kansas. They specilaize on 
Benz, BMW, Jag and Rolls. Clear  title. $8500. Yes, I know there are less 
expensive ones available, but  this IS a nice one.

Hello Emile,
 
I have owned and flown a 1973 "E" model Piper Aztec since 1987. It  was 
stolen from a local airport in late 1973 and was recovered by the US  State 
Department three  years later
in Mexico City. The insurance company sold it to a Central Missouri banker  
who flew it very little. il I bought it from him in 1987. At that time it  
had about eight hundred hours on and it now has 1860 hours. The total time 
is  now 1860 hours and I amconsidering installing Lycoming factory overhauled 
 engines in the next year or two. I Also own a 1991 Waco Biplane and a 1979 
 Cessna 210. Also a couple of BMW bikes and one older Moto Guzzi.
 
I am coming up on retirement soon, but I still enjoy a well tuned engine  
and love to "light up a tire" on occaision. I had planned to use the Aztec 
for  just a couple of hundred hours to build some multi-engine time and then 
sell it.  However, it proved to be a very reliable load hauler aircraft that 
is easy to  fly, so I still have it twenty three years later.
 
Yes, the 560 SEC is a bit expensive to keep in shape and you are right it  
is not quite as expenxive as an airplane, but expensive never the less. 
However,  I do enjoy the Benz Coupe and would even consider a 560 Sedan if i ran 
on  to a really clean one.
 
Thanks for the e-mail. Sorry to hear you are no longer flying. Don't know  
how long I can hold on to my medical. However, I must say flying light sport 
 aircraft holds little interest for  me.
 
Have a good week end.
 
Best Regards,
 
Tom Seitz
