So, I was loading up my 10 last Monday for a 1.5 hour flight back to Nashville.
I had my wife, my 15 year old son (who is taller than I am), my 12 year old daughter (who is the same size as my wife), myself, our 50 pound dog, our luggage, a K-cup coffee maker (luggage), and 40 gallons of fuel.
A friend of mine at the airport saw this and asked me who was staying behind. He was serious.
I said, "no body - we're all headed back".
He couldn't believe it.
I was still 120 pounds under the weight limit and well withing CG. Could have still been within limits with full fuel.
And I easily made 170 knots at 7500 feet all the way home.
RVs rock.
