Line Up and Wait
Before the kids were born my 90% mission (maybe even 100%) was 4 adults in the Apache.
I was close to buying a 4-seat single that didn't work out for reasons (sucked worse for the seller due to the problem uncovered -- sorry dude!). Then a proverbial ass-load of money made it my way, so I'm opening up the asylum and shopping for twins again.
I figure an Aztec or a Navajo -- my multi time (just over 100hrs) is all from an Apache and an Aztec. The four of us have a combined total of 3 kids (two toddlers and a baby). I'm thinking Aztec for now, but kids grow fast and soon enough they'll likely have friends they'll want to bring along on our weekend hikes.
I'm still VFR, generally working on some hood time with a cfii friend in his DA-20.
I wouldn't mind getting an Aztec just for the time being, but selling a twin right now is more painful than a prop-strike go-around I figure. So maybe Navajo right out of the gate?
