Adjusting for inflation, I'm sure it was still a big cost back then, too. Fuel costs have really been a driving factor in the cost of flight training, especially 1-2 years ago. It's definitely a big investment, but definitely do-able if you're smart about it. Barriers to entry are high for other professions as well...my wife and I are looking at 100K+ for her grad school
