ROOM ENOUGH FOR ALL Moving up to a six-seater WHEN WE START flying, many of us dream of the day when we can load up the entire family—including the dog, all the luggage we desire, and plenty of fuel for a memorable crosscountry trip. Once we get about midway through ground school, a sad truth becomes apparent: Most four-place airplanes aren’t really four-place airplanes once you factor in full fuel and bags. They are, at best, three-place airplanes. And even the beefiest Cessna 182 cannot accommodate more than four individuals. BY JILL W.
