J-3 Checkouts/vacations

[Dave]

I fly a Gulfstream 3 and am looking at semi-retiring next year.

I plan on getting a Piper Cub, and offering a package vacation which
would include a J-3 checkout, sunset boat ride, and a week in a
condo/house on or near the beach in Gulf Shores, Alabama. There would be
other goodies offered such as discounts on golf (5 championship
courses), kid's stuff, etc.

All services would be available ala carte, also.

What do think of the idea?

Thanks for any responses.

And how many people that would vacation there are able to climb in and
out of a cub?

Personally, I think it's great. Hope it works for you. Make arrangements
with one of the local captains for fishing charters, and you've probably
got everything a snowbird could want.

George:

Thanks for your reply. There are many fishing boats in this area that I
can make those kinds of arrangements.

There are no boats available for sunset cruises. Lots of people like the
idea of just crusing.

Dave

The vacation and the J-3 are really separate programs, as is the boat
ride, golf, etc.

The are about 600,000 or more licensed pilots in the USA, not to mention
foreign folks who may have an interest in all or part of the offerings.


Thanks for your reply.

Regards,

Dave
