Default The Retirement dream

If I can ever do it, I'd like to buy a Grumman Albatross (has always been a favorite of mine) to restore and turn into a flying RV to travel the world. Expensive but a guy can dream, can't he?

For the rest of the album:

Even Jimmy Buffett couldn't afford to do it, unfortunately!

But is sure is a helluva dream, I agree.

I love 'em too man, just remember the 10,000 hour wing thing. I think you can still find them in the 5-6,000 hour range now.
