Well, I don't own a MH but I bought my 5er for basically the same reason. As a truck driver I use to enjoy flying when on vacation. Have fond memories of flying as a youngster with my grandmother. Use to fly to St Louis so often the flight attendants knew my name and my drink. Since 9-11 I dread the airport. Flew once after 9-11 and after that mess, I won't fly again. I'm a large person so I bought a 2nd ticket so I'd not be jammed against the person next to me. That caused a stink although some airlines require it. Then on the return flight I got bumped to a 2nd carrier which made me a "one-way with no baggage" (carry on only) which earned me a pat down and extra screening. Now understand, I have a NSA security background check for Haz-Mat on my CDL. I have a NAS background check for firearms and I've had security clearances when I was in nuclear power and the military, but none of that mattered cause the airline created a situation that I had a one-way ticket.
Nope, the airlines screwed up and can't understand why they are going broke.
Not to get to political, but if they had taken the shoe bomber off the airplane out to a vacant spot at the airport and shot him, I probably wouldn't have had to take my shoes off when I flew.
...and you don't have to take your shoes off while flying within China!
My last 10 or so flights have been on a private jet and I would hate to have to go back to commercial.
I'll take the motor home anyday before I have to fly. It is a much better way to see the USA.
