Yes - that is my point. I really don't remember my costs for flight training back in the mid 80s, and they couldn't have been near as much as we have been writing about here, but if I would look at the breal down of my college costs PLUS my flight training costs - I'm sure it was expensive for the time (btw I went the FBO route but I think we had the 141 type of syllabus with *off-wing* stage checkrides and other such things htat I didn't do/have access to when I was just working one-on-one with a singel CFI)
