N2647F
The airplane that became the next chapter in my aviation journey.
N2647F is my 1966 Cessna 182J and the aircraft that followed N125YX in my aviation journey. Moving into the 182 gave me more room, more capability, and an airplane better suited for traveling, instrument flying, and the kind of adventures I wanted to pursue.
Since purchasing N2647F on October 24, 2020, it has taken me to EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh three additional times, to Sun ’n Fun in Florida, and on a bucket-list flight to the Bahamas, where I flew myself and spent a week exploring the islands. It has also given me my first experience landing on unimproved airstrips and expanded the kind of flying I’m comfortable taking on.
Over the years, N2647F has become much more than simply an airplane I own. Flying it, maintaining it, learning its systems, and continuing to improve it have all become an important part of my experience as an aircraft owner and pilot.
Unlike the completed chapter represented by N125YX, the story of N2647F is still being written.

About N2647F
N2647F is a 1966 Cessna 182J, a four-seat, high-wing, fixed-gear aircraft powered by a Continental O-470-R engine.
The 182 has proven to be a very good fit for the kind of flying I enjoy. It offers a useful combination of range, payload, stability, and short-field capability, while still being comfortable for longer cross-country trips and instrument flying.
Owning N2647F has also given me the opportunity to become much more involved in aircraft maintenance, systems, and long-term ownership decisions, making the airplane an important part of both my flying and aviation education.
