I have considered Seven Jet but had to turn them down with the 2 weeks on 1 week off schedule. Too hard to help out at home with that. Was told they are trying for 8/6 and would like to give it a try again if they can get there. Give me a shout if you hear anything to that regard.
Hi to Mainah. Skied Sugarloaf many times. Great place. I only ski Alta now. 700 inches of the greatest snow on earth!!

It's like any sports car really. They were just not designed to be operated how we were using them and once things started breaking, parts became harder and harder to come by, hence all the swapping that was done.
Much like NoJoy, I enjoyed my time, albeit brief, at Avantair. Really neat airplane to fly and even better people to fly it with. It'll be nice to hear and see those things buzzing around again and I hope that the management for this new company learns from its previous mistakes.
But hey, as long as SS is nowhere near this venture, it might have a chance!
BTW, we got this!
