As an instructor technique, this should only be simulated on a checkride...
From the article:
-An Argentinian flight instructor jumped out of a plane to his death in the middle of a flying lesson — after telling his student, “You know what you have to do,” and leaving her to land the aircraft by herself.

Old school carbureted O-540 on the RG is a great combo. Great induction with solid baffling - made for a cool engine. The 182T ith the IO-540 struggles to keep CHTs below 420 in all but wintery weather - and its stupidly big cowl flaps are drag monsters. Yes the G1000NXi and GFC700 are nice but in 2026 one should be able to get better performance.
I have flown the SR-22 a bit and at 180 KTAS + its a dream at the cost of complexity and shocking operating costs. GA is now a "rich guy" activity in many ways.
Never flown the Lance Air - they are good looking on the ramp.
I don't know what the perfect personal airplane is honestly - the key is to be uber rich and have a Citation CJ1 or Mustang or a Pilatus PC-12 as your personal go-cart.
I think a tandem seat RV-8 is up there.
Edit to add: I may or may not have ever had my wife's insurance policy info up on one screen and the Trade-a-Plane RV8 page up on another.
