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. |

Great stories, I grew up in SE Alaska and up there it was like taking the bus. If you went anywhere it was either by boat or plane...mostly Otters and Beavers, Cessna 180s and Grumman Goose aircraft. I love them, and yes I have been on a dead stick event....less comfortable. I used to fly to Baja with a guy who didn't like to stop at Lax for fuel and so he was iffy to get to Loreto...after the second dead stick landing there (the end of the runway is the sea of Cortez) we agreed that he would not pass up LAX anymore if he wanted to live. Enjoy the sights and sounds...what the hell...you drive the car equivilent of a small plane....Jim
