Who has experience flying, or flying in, smallplanes. We are about to take a 4 hour trip in a small plane,and the first question everyone asks, is "do you have a will?"
Sounds funny at first, but then you think there must be a reason they are asking. Can anyone tell me of their experiences of flying in small planes. We are flying in a 6 seater, single engine prop from CO to AR. I am ok with it, but my wife freaked out when i showed her a picture of the plane. |

I'd be more concerned with the pilot's experience than with the size of the aircraft.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) That is the perfect answer Chris. Like how many times have you heard about a plane failing as compared to "pilot error?" An (EX) in-law almost killed us landing at San Clemente in a Grumman American Tiger - he just had to land at one of the most difficult airports around. To bad there isn't a test for massive ego! |
