BTW ... in response to someone else's comment ... I
pursued and got my ticket years before I had much extra $$ to spend.
It was a dream I had since I was a little kid and I am very glad to have
accomplished it even though it turns out it was not something I wanted
to stay heavily involved in.


I know several pilots and they all say it is a rich man's hobby. Just
keeping one of those little "Buddy Holly" planes up to FAA specs is
like owning a second home.
All the work needs to be done by a licensed mechanic and parts make
boat parts look like peanuts.



I never had any interest in buying an airplane. Cheaper to rent.
