Well after a couple of months of searching, Kathie and I have found our new wing. It isn't a Cessna however, but the price was right at under $20K.
It has two seats, cruises around 75mph, but has a top speed of 140 mph and does this on less than 2gph...man these new engines are efficient.
Anyway, I know this decision will disappoint many of you, but we have done this kind of flying for years before and truly enjoy it too.
Everyone needs a sabattical now and then.
