If you're anything like Trudi, you may decide that a lesson or two turns into "just until I solo", and then into "why not just get the license?" Even if you prefer to not stay current, learning to fly is fun, and gives a great sense of accomplishment, and it makes you a much more helpful co-pilot, particularly when you can work the radios, or do navigation. --BillAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10021582517436571696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3810056512800341999.post-71614926404797498852014-04-07T13:10:13.841-08:002014-04-07T13:10:13.841-08:00Dear Tom: Thanks for your question and your inter...Dear Tom: Thanks for your question and your interest. You are right that anybody I know with a plane is willing to fly for any reason, any time.<br />Here, we don't fly when it is snowing, raining, foggy or dark. But short of that, my husband probably flies twice a week for any errands or meetings he can dream up. I go with him once a week to some location I have been curious to see. Because weather can be unpredictable, we don't use the plane for weekly grocery shopping or anything like that. (We have months' worth of dry goods and weeks' worth of perishables here at any given time.) --Laura Laura Emersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01340597823610567000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3810056512800341999.post-35627488577256918992014-04-06T06:59:03.568-08:002014-04-06T06:59:03.568-08:00Hi Laura,

I really got interested in off-grid/bush life.<br /><br />Just out of curiosity, how many times per month you guys fly back to civilisation or another location? I would be all over the area having the luxury of my own plane. :-) <br /><br />Greetings from Belgium.Tomnoreply@blogger.com
