Default Fighting the high cost of flying

Excellent move, Jay. Looks like a real clean airplane. I think lots
of folks will be making a move in a similar direction. What's the
plan for Atlas.


Well, for now we're planning to keep Atlas. With a 1460 pound useful
load, and 140 knot speeds, it allows us to be in Florida in just 5
hours, Wisconsin in 90 minutes, Kansas City in two hours, etc.

The Ercoupe will be a fun little 95 mph plane, but a cross-country
family hauler it is not... Of course, once the kids are grown and
out of the house, will we still need a minivan/airplane? Probably
not.

It really depends on what happens with 100LL and the cost of fuel in
general.


I'm sure florida Wisconsin and Kansas city are waiting your decision with
bated breath.
