Great job on the plane and the wife!
I hope you two enjoy many more flights together!
(My wife fell asleep on our anniversary trip to Myrtle Beach the week after I got my pink slip. I couldn't believe it. Either she really trusts me or she wanted to be asleep when we went in, I'm still not sure which!)

Time well spent!
Axel,
Nicely done.
I too found out the three rules for a happy marriage:
1.Keep mama happy
2.Keep mama happy
3.Keep mama happy

My favorite "anniversary journey" picture!
Congrats!

At 40.1 hrs, the -4 had a backseat that would seldom be empty , and last year on April 18th, we got married in it above our home airport. You just can't say enough about these great ladies! For our aniversary this weekend, we are hosting an RV Fly-in...California is close by..come visit!

So cool.
Bill, see you soon.
Hope you have fair weather for your fly-in.
Daddy man

Me too!
Sounds just like our situation (in my 12th year building; targeting next May to be finished). I will owe her BIG! I will have to remember your post!
Congrats on EVERYTHING!

A heart warming story!
What a great story, Axel. If more men would appreciate and honor their wives, like you have done, there would be far fewer divorces and discontentment.
I too am blessed with an understanding wife, who likes to fly with me in our RV-6. I wish I had thought of something as clever as you have, to show her my appreciation, especially about my long (6 years) building process.
