Can't beat that! My hubby also has an airplane, right now working on repainting, that has kept him busy for a while. How do you not get airsick, I have only gone up with him twice and both times I got sick.
His other hobby is learning, if he is not learning something he is not a happy guy. And I would also say that work is his hobby, he has worked three jobs most of our married life, 32 years. If he is not working on a project he is not a happy guy either.
I guess I am just lucky that I have never gotten sick. What type of plane do you have? Ours is a 69 Piper Arrow. Lots of room for fabric buys when we go flying!
He has what I would say is 1 1/2 LongEZ's. They are homebuilt! They fly very fast! Have you been to the airshow in Oshkosh, WI?
After I sent the last message I thought I should have asked if you have been to AirAdventure. We have gone for the past 11 years. I love going. We drive - only about three hours away. Usually fit in a couple quilt stops. I love looking at the LongEZ's. They are so sleek! ;)
We have been to AirVenture twice, 2008 and 2010. He is planning on going again this year but I'm not sure if I will. Him and his buddies are talking about flying in, his friend has a new RV7 they want to take. Have you gone to the quilt show they have for AirVenture. We stay at the University and it is across the river at what I think is the community center. I really enjoyed the quilt show, small but everyone was so nice.
I went to the quilt show a few years back. That year my husband flew in and volunteers driving the tractors around that pull the trams people ride on. I had driven in that year. While he was driving tractors, I went to the quilt show. That year it was at a church. We have talked about flying in and camping. That would be OK as long as the weather isn't like it was just prior to 2010 AirVenture.
