However sorry to shatter your illusion but no I'm not in any kind of trouble with my wife and no she doesn't get on the forum.

Emma Annette and I have been married for 35 years now as many know she has had a stroke and is confined to a wheelchair and I can tell you she is a great inspiration just by being herself.

 

My a/c is a great source of pleasure however Annette will always be my greatest treasure. :;)7:

 

Now all you blokes out there can rip me off if you like I can take it however the greatest joy in my life was after my wife came out of a very long coma and all she wanted to do was give me a big hug now thats passion.

I think in all seriousness we would let our planes burn to the ground before a loved one suffering, anything. You have made a very sobering point.

 

But in the fun and jest of it all............hey even my wife of almost 20 helped me come up with the list of reasons why an aeroplane is better than a woman.

 

I do hope that she can enjoy the freedom of flight that we all enjoy, regardless of whether its a Drifter or a Citation. Remember not everyone on earth or in a lifetime gets this privilege.

This is what i came up with months ago....

 

Everytime my hubby goes flying i write in how much it costs, its not every week i want to buy a pair off shoes - soooo by the end off about 6 weeks i have about $600.00 for a shopping spree;)

 

I reckon thats a pretty good deal:big_grin:

 

 

[Guest Fred Bear]

Just look at all the moths coming out of my wallet. Is that thread sewn across my pocket too? I think so!

[Guest Emma Masters]

7. Pacific Fair isn't too far away either ;)

 

 

[Ultralights]

i had a partner and a baby on the way, rational woman, a police officer, all the $$ she earned she spent on her horses and her V8 Ute. all the $$ i earned i spend on flying.... we had a good deal...;)

 

we broke up.

 

i bought my Vampire...;)

 

though on reflection, i would still prefer the partner and little girl, though sadly i was not her father....... hence single.

 

now its just a race against time, sell my house in Syd before i get corrupted by another woman! as soon as it sells, i have told the aircraft dealer he will get a nice big cheque!;)

 

oh, as for the plane, its an MCR01!

 

 

[Guest J430]

Invest in the TOY SHED

 

Short or Long term, its a good deal!

 

 

[Guest Fred Bear]

I like the way you think J430 Ultralights, amazing how many men bust up then end up with an a/c.I'm sure I have seen it a few times
