Nice to know. And thanks for giving me fun memories by mentioning the 340. Ol' Amos Horner loved to spend the $ he made in the timber industry. Their other airplane was the one I flew in most. A Cessna 180 (taildragger) with loads of instruments and had been given a STOL conversion by a firm up in Washington state. A long runway NOT a requirement .  I've often wondered where those planes are today.
