I love the way you guys think there has to be a "GA wife"... It's not just restricted to that gender.
My old man bought me a trial lesson... and then lost me every weekend to the airfield... self inflicted - he shouldn't have bought me the lesson. He didn't like being on his own suddenly, so decided to join in.
I've got my PPL(A) and he's got his NPPL(M) - If you can't beat 'em.....join 'em.
