18 minutes? $38? Yep that's a typical short training
flight...

Typical in that respect.

Not so typical in that when I looked down, on downwind and saw the
planes being towed to the hangar that they were stored in for the
winter, I knew that it was my last one. I don't think anyone else had
any indication of my intentions until the first day of ground school
when I took all my books in and told our beloved Pawnee Pat to give
them to anyone that could use them. Abandoned my radio and somewhat
over $100 in block time, don't know what happened to them. Took me
until July or August to decide that the plane was just draining me by
sitting under the tree in the backyard.

Typical short training flight.
