Oscar Deuce - find it difficult to comment on your last post, as I haven't met the wives concerned!
In general, however, I'm all for the variety of flying that GA offers. Sometimes in bad wx (when do we get anything else?!), it's nice to have 2 miles of runway and all the nav aids you can poke a big stick at, a friendly scope dope to talk to
and a reasonable certainty that the runway at your destination won't be waterlogged. On a nice day, when you haven't got a million and one things to contend with (and your pax is up for a laugh!), then strip flying is great fun!
If you really want different, then try sticking the fan on top, at the back, or even going without one altogether, if you wish!
Vie la difference as Wilbur Wright used to say!
