The Kids Love the Malibu Mirage
One of the best things I love about my Mirage is the cabin! My kids love it. I’ve owned 3 planes: an Skylane, Bonanza, and now a Mirage. The Mirage is so far the best for kids, though the Skylane was a close second. The high wing of the Cessna meant it was always cool and shady, and getting in and out was a breeze. The Bo was really a pilot’s airplane: great for the pilot (they fly like a Porsche) but not so much for the PAX. With the Mirage, as pictured, we fit it all, sit in air-conditioned pressurized comfort, and have a blast.

That photo cracks me up. How do the dogs travel?

Hi Steve,
The dogs travel great in pressurization. These are my brother’s dogs, but my mom and stepdad have flown their lab all over the western US for years in a Skylane. These two were a joy for this ride and kept the 3 year old busy as can be.
