If we're restricted to those choices, the Nissan would be more fun.
You can go to the beach, the mountains, the movies, the museum, other
interesting places where you can see things and meet other people. And
if you do meet someone, the Nissan has a place for her to sit.


That part doesn't apply to a plane.

Same thing for an airplane. An airplane can take you to all sorts of
interesting, educational, entertaining, profitable places.


Using general aviation for transportation is very different from using
it for leisure. When you use it for leisure, you can afford to wait
for good weather and you can be happy going anywhere. When you use it
for transportation, you cannot afford to wait for good weather and you
have to go to specific places.

With the simulator, no matter where you go, there you are.


Which is where I want to be. I hate travel.
