This is one of the few aircraft where it doesn't really matter when it was built or how technologically complex it is. It's not meant for flying into areas of strong supernatural forces, just as a toy for Mike LeBlanc, justified by the frequent need to shuttle people quickly between airports in Beaumont, Galveston or around Houston, and New Orleans.
LeBlanc likes fast cars, motorcycles and supersonic jets. He buys the cars and motorcycles personally, but as he could probably not justify his bosses acquring a supersonic jet (and even if he's highly paid, can't afford one personally), he'll want whatever modern light aircraft is most fun to fly and requires little hassle to take up for a recreational jaunt with little notice.
There are a few Cessna 172P Skyhawks in use for similar things. Is there anything (can be a touch smaller if required) that is clearly more fun to fly?
