Funny thing, many years ago Sandy Sansing was going to ferry a PV-2, and had a right-seater. The Feds were on the field and started to violate him because the ferry permit said essential crew only, which they said was one. He invited the Fed up into the cockpit, to sit in the driver's seat, then told him he's flying, and now has a hydraulic problem, how is he going to put juice in the system and fly the plane? (apparently this one wasn't modified). The Fed OK'd a right-seater after saying it was a single pilot plane. Now they are saying it has to be a two man crew? Geez! I guess it depends on the plane, but on bigger ones, I'd take a two-man crew...unless it's on fire!

Gary,
did you get this sorted out ?

Hey Matt,
Yes, the situation is good, and no small thanks to you and all the others that helped.
Although I wasn't there, the party involved told me that everything is a go on the single pilot issue....
Now that the party mentioned is on-line with WIX, he might let us know how he got it done...
Anyway, Matt, thanks again...good to hear from you, and you are still invited to Wyoming at the end of this month!!!
Planning on at least getting the wings off of 58C, and maybe a little bit more done....There will be three Poons getting the wrench over the week-end!

Gary, right now I don't have the $ to go around the block, let alone the country. I have a deadbeat that owes me 4k, If I don't get at least half in the next 2 weeks I am going to have to sell one of my Goldwings.
