Re: [Titanaircraft] Is the II for me?

Brian,

It sounds like you've described the ideal owner and mission profile for
a Titan II (D or S.) You'll be fine in the front seat.

My advice on the IID vs IIS - have your wife sit in the back of both, if
possible. Or don't - she'll prefer the S. :) If your budget is tight, do
*not* have her sit in the back of an SS. :}
