But do you have the awesome "schlitz kit bag/fly away kit" option, or the "Folgers spares kit", like my dad had for his Navion? (circa 1970's so I'll give him a pass on the horrible paint job, pipe, and porn mustache) 
But I'll never forgive him, or my mom for taking pictures of yours truly, after dressing me in the fashion of the time, enjoying the comfort of the backseat in said Navion…

ETA: As in-compressible as water is especially at that speed I imagine it's comparable to doing it on a runway. Maybe even easier on the tires without the frictional abrasion and heating. But I don't have the stones to try so it's all conjecture.

It always catches me by surprise. |

I'm surprised no one commented on this plane. I thought it was cool. 1970 Mooney M10 Cadet.
From Wikipedia (This plane is pictured there) "The Mooney M10 Cadet is a light airplane manufactured by the Mooney Aircraft Company in 1969 and 1970. The M10 is derived from the ERCO Ercoupe, the type certificates for which Mooney purchased from the Alon Corporation in 1967.[1] The M10 is similar to the Alon A2-A, and indeed a handful of "Mooney A2-As" were built in Kerrville in 1968 before changeover of Mooney's production line was completed.[3] According to the FAA Type Certificate Data Sheet,[4] the "Model 10 is similar to Model A2-A except for new design empennage, ailerons and fuel tank vent." The most obvious difference is that the M10 replaces the iconic Ercoupe-style dual vertical stabilizer with a tail designed to allow the airplane to spin. Changes to the ailerons, along with replacement of the A2-A's tail, were motivated by Mooney's intent to market the M10 as a trainer: student pilots receiving training in a non-spinnable airplane, as the Ercoupe was, were issued FAA pilot certificates carrying the restriction that they could only fly airplanes which were "characteristically incapable of spinning"; thus the spinnable tail was necessary to turn the A2-A into a general-purpose trainer. Given that they were replacing the tail, Mooney's engineers opted to give it the "backward" profile characteristic of the M20 series. Note however that although the M10's empennage has the same silhouette as the "big Mooneys", it does not swivel the way the M20's does ... the Cadet's tail is a conventional design with fixed horizontal stabilizer, hinged elevator, and trim tabs. The two type certificates that cover all Ercoupe variants, including the Mooney M10, are currently owned by Univair Aircraft Corporation, in Aurora, Colorado, USA.)

http://i67.tinypic.com/op5qxe.jpg Awesome! I've always wanted to fly a 580. I can remember watching North Central's takeoff and land as a kid. I've heard the 600's were a better flying airplane, but just something about those Allisons! Enjoy it! After a month locked in the schoolhouse, they finally let me out to fly a real airplane again. Well, if you can call the Bus a real airplane. 
This placard instills confidence in the new Bus driver....
