Me too. About 90% solo in my -8. I should have built a -3.

Definitely. The only time I have someone with me is when I take the wife to see relatives about once a month - or less.

Less than 5% of my flying is solo. My wife and I fly together to go places. It's almost a distraction not to have her there.

...plus I still owe her for all that pre-cellphone glider crewing she did. For awhile, every flight was an adventure.

No more than 30% of my time is solo. If my wife or son isn't with me, someone from the airpark is.

probably about 50/50 for me. Kris goes with when we are actually going some where, but doesn't care about buzzing around locally. Whereas I need a flying fix occasionally.

Like today after work...to nice to not make a quick loop around the valley.
the lake was extra smooth, but too many birds for a low pass

snow is melting off Baldy, maybe I should have went hunting

passed the Hogbacks on the way home...no elk showing today


solo is ok somedays....Life is good
