Yes and no. Certainly there are ways to spend a lot of money on
flying, but that goes for boating as well.

People are always surprised to hear that a good used airplane is about
the same price as a fully loaded van or SUV.

I think everyone should be A) drafted in the military for two years,
and B) taught to boat, drive and fly. Then we might get a better and
more informed voting public.

YMMV ;-)
