I don't know of any countries in which this is possible. Aviation is
generally a rich man's hobby everywhere, where it is possible at all.


Your definition of "rich" must be strange indeed.

Does it by chance mean someone with a real job?

I know, and have known, a lot of airplane owners.

Other than one guy who owned a string of furniture stores, I wouldn't
call any of them anywhere near "rich" by any stretch of the imagination.

I'm an aircraft owner; think I'm "rich"?

I almost bought an airplane when I was a college student on the GI
bill and working part time (I still regret that I didn't).

Does a college student on the GI bill and working part time fit your
definition of "rich"?
