The airplane I bought in 2004 looks like a better and better investment every day. More non-pilot jumpers. TSA BS, etc etc. Reminds me of 1990s Prince Sultan TDYs, where the "support" team goes out of the way to make it miserable for the operators. It is always cheaper to come to work on someone else's dime, but I must say driving or flying in on your own puts me in a much better mood.
