Good for you, Jay! I get so tired of hearing folks whine about my airplanes
when they drive up in their $40,000 SUVs whose insurance is more each year
than our two taildraggers combined. I don't work and my husband doesn't make
a six figure salary, but we manage to fly about 300 hours a year together.

It's all about priorities. I have noticed, too, that some pilots will not
fly unless they are flying the newest, the best, or the fastest.
Consequently, these are airplanes few can afford. Let them stay on the
ground. I don't mind puttering over their heads ;-).

Exactly. Our old Cherokee needs a paint job and a lot more, but we fly
and fly and fly. I had a Tri-Pacer for 20 years and often had pilots
ask when I was going to get something faster and better. Funny thing
is that most of them never had a plane at all.
