Hard to beat the Chief for communicating with your passenger. (you can look over and see their expressions)
I think(IMHO) its the best for flying Young Eagles

Congratulations on a beautiful Chief.

The side by side seating gives you some other advantages, like staying in balance even if you go over weight. Made a big difference on floats with two passengers compared to one. The two Glove Boxes quickly became space for a Nav Com and Transponder and I love the panel design.

I loved my Chief. Sure you will love yours. Have fun flying her. My Chief had a frame up rebuild at the same time as my Sedan. Same Paint Scheme etc. Next to each other, looks like Mother and Daughter!
