What will the one you already have say to that?

Isn't there a legal limit somewhere?

Best of luck with your new adventure! At least somebody's having some.

Congrats! For all it's worth, it's great being able to say that you completed a stage of life and can look back on it as something that was worth your while.
And of course, I hope you do get that L4 soon. Pretty plane she is

Many business owners never get to be in such an enviable position. Good luck with whatever you decide to do next.

Best of luck on your 'next' adventure.

Thanks for the comments and well wishes.

Maybe in the next 12-24 months I can offer you guys some free L4 rides?

For now I'm going to try and assist my wife with her medical coding and billing. May try to get certified actually so we can eventually do that from home.

Honestly, who knows?

If I weren't on the wrong side of a large body of water I'd take you up on that in a shot, but something tells me that the L4 hasn't got a big enough fuel tank to go trans-atlantic...
To compensate for that though, I would like to see pics

In the meantime I wish you and your wife all the best in the medical coding and billing business.

Sure it does. Just click off 'Realistic Refueling'.

They do make a rather large fuel tank which adapts to small single engine aircraft for such long voyages.

It is sometimes attached to the belly of the aircraft and gives it an astounding range on the order of 20,000 miles


here is a pic of it. Pretty impressive. though it is quite cost prohibitive I've heard.

On the other hand, even if you could what would be the point? I think I read somewhere that some guy did it a long time ago.

I forget his name.

On the other other hand I might have read it on Wiki, so I'm told it doesn't count.
