Those Still Flying GA

I own a plane, no it doesn’t always make sense on the financial ledger. That aspect does not keep me up at night.
I fly at least inside of every two weeks, move the oil around.
The older Son went to college for half a year, came home & said he’d like to switch to piloting. Having a family plane as he was growing up likely influenced that decision. I didn’t push it one way or another.
One can buy a nice plane if you can avoid spending $200k+ with divorce attorneys. I know, can’t be avoided at times.
A plane is a bit more special than that boat or RV.

I dunno. I've run 172's off dirt strips with full loads of passengers or cargo in the mountains, towed banners with them, all kinds of things. They're great training airplanes.
They're the Glock 19 of the light airplane world.

It's what I would do if I had a do over. Then again, no online degrees when I started. Dammit, I'm too young to be this old.
