My wife got the honors of being the first passenger in N159SB last evening!!!
I think she liked it more than she is willing to admit..she always says that traveling by air is not her favorite thing but she enjoys the speed in which she gets somewhere...
She has flown with me a few short times in a 172 rental but that is the limit of her light plane experience..

That soo rocks. I hope that is a trend with your wife. Patti flies with me but its not her 'thing'. Using it for Transportation was a benefit but it wasnt tons of entertainment for her. I hope the RV makes it more appealing.
Great shots too dude!

I had that problem for years with my wife, she just was not into flying at all. Then I bought her a camera and asked her to take pictures as we flew. She really got into it then she started an aerial photography business. Now I never get to fly by myself....

CONGRATULATIONS! What an awesome experience. I'm totally happy for both of you. I'm really looking forward to doing the same thing with Jamie one of these days.
Congratulations! I hope to some day get my medical again and take my wife! She went with me in rental 172's and was pretty comfortable but always claimed it wasn't her thing! I know she would like the clean upholestry because she made it for my airplane and installed it. She has had one ride from the pilot who flies it and wants another one so there is hope!
