Luggage Capacity

The wife and I offered our adult kids a vacation deal.  We will rent the house if you can manage to get there.  We flew the Bravo and they (3 kids with wives.....) flew commercial.  I offered to haul non airline friendly items thinking I’d be task with a couple of fishing rods. 
The first pic is the back of a Ford Expedition we rented. Slam full!  The second and a third shows us loading up for the flight home.  To my surprise there was more!  I guess they didn’t want to check a bag.   Thankfully it was all bulk and no weight!

If it fits in the back of a Tahoe... it fits in an Ovation...  (David @AAA)

There is a mathematical correlation for this... it probably works...

If it fits in the back of an Expedition... it fits in a Bravo..!

Great Pics Slow Flyin’!

thanks for sharing them.

All the open top bags are perfect in the Mooney... not so good for traveling commercial...  

Best regards,

It's a traveling phenomenon for my family.   Going on vacation everything is packed perfectly.  Coming home, not so much!

Even a lowly short-body C will carry a lot. This was leaving the airport after our Thanksgiving trip . . . It was all in the plane . . . . I moved it from one Ranger to another.

I think I am just getting a feel for how big a Mooney really is...

Installing a gravity switch in the Ranger is key to keeping things in the back...

Go War Eagle!

Just to throw into he mix - I once carried a dozen chihuahua doggies in crates for a pilots and paws mission.  And my son as assistant.

I also have carried two dozen live lobsters - which didn't live more than 6 hours after the flight....

2 people and four bicycles - less unusual.

If it fits in a Penske truck it fits in a ... Pilatus? I guess I get the logic.
