I love my 1974 Bellanca Viking with the big IO-540. Alot of bang for the buck!
I have also owned a Grumman Tiger which was also an awesome airplane. Too bad Avgas is so pricey!!!

Now let's see... There's the Ted Smith Aerostar 600, and theres the good old reliable Aztec E better known as the truck. Then there's the AC 690... abliet the noise and vibrations from the Garretts. But don't forget about the good old Pitts S2B or the Extra 300L. Just too hard to decide.

But I have to tell you the old 727-100 and 737-100 & 200 sure fly like light twins... but I know they don't qualify as GA aircraft.

Don't vikings have wood wings and a fabric covered fuselage? I think its interesting because you dont see many low-wing retracts like that. How often do you fly it?
