"Really? You brought up "jealousy." Why should anyone who doesn't give a
rat's ass about private aviation be jealous over whether one of the
dumb**** righties here takes flying lessons or buys planes?"


I agree wholeheartedly with this post. If someone gave me an airplane it would be up for sale in a New York minute. Poor Swill, he seems to base a person's worth solely on their possessions.


People don't learn to fly in order to buy airplanes. People learn to
fly because it's something they have interest in and want to experience
the process and challenge of learning and earning the license.

I'd never buy an airplane. For my purposes renting made far more sense.
I'll never even make any use of the ticket I earned. But, it's
another item to toss into the bucket of life experiences and I am glad I
did it.

BTW, the comment Harry made is characteristic of his narcissism. If
*he* hasn't done it then anyone who does is a dumb**** and is not worth
his valuable time to read of their experiences and questions of others.
Harry's time is very valuable you see.

I gave up trying to have a normal, adult conversation with him.
