    Experiences while flying GA in the past year

    My wife and I found a place that we’re going to start renting from between now and when we purchase something of our own.

    Right plane for my mission?

    The wife and I are ready to purchase our first plane. We started out looking at RV7As but I quickly realized that isn't what she's interested in. She wants to travel, and yes the RV7A can do that, but not practically for a 1000 mile trip with luggage or a 500 mile trip with our dogs, so the Vans...
