From business flying to visiting grandchildren

摘要

Allen yarborough learned to fly in 1968; he trained in Tomahawks and expected that his flying would simply be a hobby. But soon he moved up, to a Bonanza and a twin. "I purchased a Navajo in 1988, and for a number of years I used my twin for business flying to my multiple stores in two states," Yarborough says. He sold his businesses in 2008 and says, "I tried to retire, but I couldn't get used to being in retirement." He bought a Turbo Arrow IV so he and his wife could visit their grandchildren in another state. "I chose the Arrow because of its speed and altitude capabilities, as I was used to the twin, but I wouldn't need the extra seating and the operating cost were dramatically lower per hour," he says.
