Mxsmanic,

You must be independently wealthy and retired if you can actually
afford to fly in real life.


Just for your information, since you mentioned the cost of flying in
another post as well: The certificate will cost you something like 4000
or 5000 dollars spread over 6 months or a year. Does spending that kind
of money over that period of time require wealth and retirement? No, it
requires dedication. Have that?

Just think, he could get rid of his internet access and fly about a half
hour to an hour a month. Worth it to me!

When I had ISDN and then DSL my Internet bill would have paid for a
lot more flying than that and in a high performance retract to boot!
:-)) OTOH there is a reason I'm flying a 46 year old (as of tomorrow)
airplane. Airworthiness certificate is 9/11/59. TT is still less than
4,000 hours

When I was in college studying CS at age 47 to 50 my phone bill was
close to $300 a month just so I could get my home work done and I
wasn't even on the Internet then although I used to get into the
boards at different colleges.
