Just registered, I've been flying for 15+ years, 13 years in the Navy, and currently flying King Air 300s and 350s. Actually signed up to research a potential V-tail purchase.

Now the hard part. Convincing the wife that the best way to avoid traffic driving from Norfolk to NY is in a plane.

Get with Dave Shuster, he's got a V35B there and could show the ropes.

And call ahead to ensure the FBO gives you her perfect level of service, however fancy that may be. Carried bags and a running rental with cold AC might be all you need. :thumbup:

I think boat being sold and/or house in Wyoming being sold are a couple things she is going to demand before I drop the coin on a plane.

Unless one just follows me home from the airport.

As much as I like the boss' BE300, I could never afford to feed it. And I think he might get mad if I didn't bring it back. :D

Anyone want to buy a really nice 5000 sqft Mid-Century Modern house in Casper, WY that looks like it was the set for the Brady Bunch? All proceeds towards the "New to me plane fund".

Any advice on convincing spouses that an apartment built into the hangar is perfectly acceptable housing would also be appreciated. :angel:
