I beg to differ. Yes, you can spend a LOT of money at the upper end
(and yes, even the middle) of the GA spectrum, but you can also buy a
good used plane for less than the price of the average new car... and
a lot less than "average" guys spend on boats. Airplanes hold their
value far better, too.

What kind of airplane can you get for $10,000?

Is this perceived high cost of aviation what keeps you in your
basement playing sims?

It is one of several reasons, yes. The simulator only costs about
$40.
