I've been away from flying for a few years now, but picked it up again in the last 6 months. I've had my Australian licensed authorized for use in the US now (so have an FAA license card).
I have recently completed the written, FBO check outs, had my IACRA form prepped and ready to book my checkride (once the weather improves here in Philly).
When living in Australia, I had the preview plans for the 7, was about the order the emp when I started my relocation to the US. The relocation included for sale of my aircraft as well as selling off a share in another.
Over the last few months in getting back into the air, I started turning my attention to finding another share in an aircraft as well as commencing a build.
After some long discussions with the wife, we eventually decided to wait a few years and go for the -10 rather than the -7. (She MUST have the option to bring more luggage and a dog, or have room as the family grows).
So with the news of no building for 5-6 years, I moved my focus back to looking for a share in a 182, Arrow or Saratoga etc.
My birthday is a few days away and wouldn't you know it, my wife gave me preview plans for the -10 for my bday
(updated: as per flion below... I am not sure if they are preview plans, but they are a large collection of A3 paper, bound on the short edge... hmmm... what is it?)
What a gal!
I think I better hurry up on the house hunting we are doing so I can move into a 2 car garage!
