I've been researching this a lot.
I've flown my share of seriously crapped out rental GA airplanes, and have no desire to put myself or my family in one now. Nor do I relish the thought of single engine night IFR over shark infested waters during hurricane season.
What I would like is to be able to rent a plane in say, Florida for a spell, fly 4 people down to some of the Keys or maybe the Bahamas with enough IFR capability to get out of a jam if I had to. Like a Bonanza or a Saratoga maybe. Then on occasion, be able to fly out of another part of the country, say Arizona, in a similar aircraft and go mess around in Mexico or Vegas or something. I wonder if there are any clubs that would have a network like that...?
