What RVators Do When They Aren't RVating.

  • Bill Goeken (RV-8)
    Bill is half owner of a RV-8 and flies corporate for his gas money.  He took me along on a ride in the Citation so I could compare my RV-6 with his jet.  Holy cow.
The Tag-along Tourist            
  • Hot Springs, AR 
     Susie Reeves is the 'The Tag-along Tourist'. Her articles are written specifically for the non-pilot spouse who gets dragged around the country in the family airplane.  Its purpose is to get the destination planning process back into the hands of the non-pilot spouse, where it belongs <grin>.

Voices of Experience   

This section shows that you don't have to be a millionaire or retired to build your own plane.  The people listed below have built multiple RVs.  Trust them.  They've been where you're headed.
