Went yesterday in the 195. A very nice day, 310nm each way. They parked a pretty Stinson V-77 next to me.

Busy day, lots of international students training. I got called a "Cub" by the guy behind me on final.

Lot's of Shortwings there, but don't remember any J-3s.

There were some antique autos and an antique fuel truck with a Lockheed Vega hood ornament. Very nice.

Super fast ride back, I think the 195 really wanted to get home. The GPS groundspeed kept climbing and climbing, 145-150-155kts at 11,500 and "only" 11.7gph of autogas. Saw 175kts for the last 7-8 minutes while descending to land...
