Probably less than 4%. Ann is a pilot also and loves to fly.

If I land solo, I am immediately confronted with questions like, "Where's Ann?"
"Is something wrong?"

When I fly solo, it's usually because Ann is bringing something in the car that wouldn't fit in the airplane.

Default almost never

Carol is retired and loves to fly, travel, camp, go any time, she even will dry camp, I do not like dry camping. I like a hot shower ,, like Johnson Creek!!!
She loves to go and is a pilot.
Rarely fly with out another person. But,, My Job does let me fly solo some.
Recently a fellow RV friend/RV owner, needed a magneto in a nearby town. As A Bonus I GET to fly in a job related activity!!!!!
Most of my flying is destination orentinanted,, so sometimes I have to go solo. Most times we are traveling together. I like it that way.

Wife loved to fly, and the scenery around here is too good, not to share with someone.
