Remarks

WHY THE RYAN PT-22

There are aircraft that you simply fly and there are aircraft that make you feel the history of aviation. The Ryan is very much the latter.

The combination of the open cockpit, classic monoplane design, direct controls and five-cylinder Kinner radial makes every flight a very different experience from flying a modern aircraft.
