To put that in perspective, I have neighbors that drop $28,000 on a
"towable RV", formerly known as a camping trailer, use it for two
weeks and sell it next year for $20,000. G


For me, the cost would still be justifiable, because I fly myself to many
customer meetings and installation jobs. But if I were just going to get my
pilot's license for recreational flying, it might be much tougher to justify
unless I had that kinda cash to drop on a recreational activity.
