What would you guys recommend to carry 4 or 5 GoldWings and their
riders? Doesn't need to be able to cross an ocean 8-). It needs to
be one that mere mortals can afford, so 747's and C5's are out.

Thanks,

A trailer.

Not much left south of Alexandria after this past hurricane season.

Not up on geography huh? I'm 70 miles south, didn't get anything from
Katrina, got some wind and rain from Rita, not as many tornados as Lili
of years past, higher sustained duration winds though. I lost fence and
roof to Lili, lost only trees to Rita. Leaving next week to survey the
damage recovery from Wilma in Cozumel...
You didn't say how far south originally! My brother is further south yet. He
lost everything, house and mobile home both, he lived on the coastal road
at the 8 mile mark from Texas, Johnson Bayou. Glad to hear you did ok!

Sorry to read that, thats west of us by 70 miles and ground zero for
where Rita came ashore. I fly due north (if Fort Polk approach lets me)
on trips to Pineville/Alexandria from 4R7...

What Emily left of the south coast road on Cozumel was finished off by
Wilma... Around 15km worth...

There was substantial damage not far from us (like trees through the
middle of the house) but our neighborhood faired pretty well, several
have new roofs, some are still waiting...

Don't have an engine big enough! And if I did, all the effective
payload would be used up with fuel sigh.

Dean Wilson designed and built a twin engine amphib for two French
explorers. It used two Lycoming engines, and I think the tail end
swung open for loading. It was called the Explorer. It could hold an
Avid Flyer with the wings folded. He built a single engine version that
had room for a king size bed, I believe. Look for an article in Sport
Aviation.
It was built with tubing and fabric covered.

Full fuel leaves room for 2000lbs or two of your GoldWings and their
riders(at least if one of the riders can fly the plane) so I guess you'll
need two of these!

That's what I was about to say. Even the pocketrockets are trying to
stay close to lower 400# or higher 300#.
