The old rent vs buy decision.....


His acts are not without an aviation parallel: Eliot's stupid harlot
trick is what happens when one fails to properly make the rent/buy
decision.

Renting at $4500/hour might've looked good on paper compared to what he
could get at home---his $151K Governor salary divided by the middle-age
married average of 52 encounters/year & 15 mins/encounter works out to
$11K+/hour. Yeah, owning means he would probably have to look at a
bit of
hangar rash, the gearbox was probably leaking and in need of an
overhaul, the cylinders might've been crying for some GAMIjection, but
at least if he kept it "in the hangar", so to speak, he would've also
kept his wife and job.

Look where he ended up instead, Tomahawk dreams on a Beechcraft budget.
