Default Does a wife get to keep her RV?

Okay, I?ve read the numerous threads on these forums about how RV ownership has torpedoed many a marriage or engagement because the WIFE doesn?t support the HUSBAND?s involvement in flying and building. This continuing discussion has me worried. Before he even proposed, my fianc? was talking about selling my RV-6 in a few years. Have I made a mistake in agreeing to marry him?

Default No Mistake here!!

Oh, I don?t think you?ve made a mistake Louise?

Besides, we could never sell your -6 until we start and finish a -10?.that?s why the hangar needs to be big enough for two RV?s and a project, right?

OK guys, how lucky am I to find a woman who doesn?t just ?tolerate? flying, but is an experienced pilot herself, and also OWNS HER OWN RV??!! Nope, not gonna let this one go?

Paul

No you're not a total dope Kirk....you're guess is close - it's an engagement announcement! We'll have to wait for the marriage until we can figure out how to at least live in the same state....and until then, each of us having an RV keeps us MUCH closer together!

Congratulations to the both of you. It is so neat to see two people with similar passions find each other -- and to think it was through this list makes it extra neat. BTW, was our February trip to BBRSP the first time you two had met? I thought I could detect a little extra "chemistry" between the two of you while sitting under that incredible stellar display.

Best wishes for perpetual clear skies and tail winds!!

Cheers,

Dave and Janie Burden
Together 25+years because we both love skiing, motorcycling, flying, and traveling!! I am also one lucky guy.!

For practical purposes, the BBRSP trip was where we met and that trip started us off. (Thanks, again, Doug!) I did meet Paul briefly at last year's LOE, but he doesn't remember! I think his passion for Valkyrie was too new last year to notice any other females.

Thanks for the thoughts. It was clear at Big Bend that you folks have a special relationship, too.
