Oh no, I appreciate the advice and wholeheartedly believe I should do all my homework. I'll admit, I feel like a 12 year old boy about to buy his first awesome bicycle, and wanna just buy it sight unseen, but I know better. Especially when the lives of others are in my hands. No way Jose. Here...

I think these 4 adults trips would be pretty far and few between. My main purpose is to fly myself and my spouse around on cool ass dates! Haha I really appreciate your advice good sir, and everyone else's advice for that matter! So it sounds like this might be a good option for me then. I...
