Traditional wisdom has it that most light airplane buyers purchase two seats more than they need. I guess I'm pretty traditional. I've owned six airplanes, and all but one have been four-seaters. My first, a Globe Swift, was the only two-seater; during the six years I owned it, there were just two or three times when I needed four seats. I've had my current airplane, a 200 hp Mooney, for the last 20 years, and I've carried four people no more than a half-dozen times.
