GA is priceless
We just returned from a quick, overnight flight to Wisconsin, to attend
a holiday gathering of family and friends, and I simply couldn't help but remark on the incredible utility and convenience of GA. In 90 minutes (as opposed to 5.5 hours) we were parked on the ramp in Racine, plugging Atlas in for the night. Twenty minutes later, we were sipping egg nog and enjoying the warmth of the holiday spirit with Mary's family. Today, we slept in late, enjoyed a late brunch with friends, and flew home in 100 minutes. The kids were back home, playing with their new games, 20 minutes after we landed. 3 hours and 10 minutes of enjoyable, XM-radio-enhanced flight, versus 11 hours of mind-numbing driving through aggravating Chicago-area traffic. God almighty, I can't understand for the life of me why there isn't an airplane in every American garage... -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |
