Nonetheless, arriving at the main gate of The New Piper AircraftCorp.'s VeroBeach, Fla., (VRB) facility before dawn this morning found my little internalconflict closer to stalemated than usual; a draw, if you will. My mission today:First, photograph New Piper's essentially all-new PA-46-500TP Meridian in apost-dawn, air-to-air mission, then sample the flying qualities of the sleekpropjet single. The sequence of my missions provided the antidote to my nagginganxiety. After about an hour of watching the rising sun make magic of theMeridian's svelte, sleek lines my photo "willies" vanished and I foundmyself anxious only about how quickly they'd let me at it and hopeful they'd letme keep it for the morning.
