I've seriously considered it several times over the years, once, to the point where I was looking at airplanes and almost signed a hangar lease. It sounds like a good idea, but when you put it all down on paper, reality sets in. The last time I was looking into it was right before 117 changed, and I was doing 4 commutes per month. After that, I've been able to rearrange my schedule, put trips back to back, and knock it down to 2 or 3, although that's getting difficult to do lately with the elimination of much of our open time.

Lots of moving parts, and very expensive for what'll save me a few hours per month. If I had a longer drive, the rate of return starts to make more sense.

I've also considered buying a lot at a local fly in community, which would obviously simplify the situation on the home end, considerably, but it's still a lot of cash just to get to and from work.
