Jay,

His marriage is great! However, he has a school teacher wife and two small
kids. They just haven't developed a love for flight. He actually bought the
PA-28-180 because his dad was large. His dad flew with him one day, liked it
and has never returned. He would like to go to fly-ins with us, do
flour-bombing and spot landings at one of the private fly-ins we attend. His
needs are simple.

I think he's working toward a Citbatria. It will fit his flying mission
better.

That said, we all know you fly with your whole family. Go for it! I think
it's grand.

Since we have inherited a new child along with two grandkids, my husband may
have to speed up his work on the C-195!

Another friend bought a PA-28 after earning his PPL and his family has
never been in it.

That says more about your friend's marriage than about his choice of
airplane, Deb.

Sadly, it doesn't seem to be uncommon at the airport.
