JH, I know you dont like me responding to your posts but for the sake
of discussion I might add some perspective.

Thanks for that, Frank. I always appreciate your aviation-related posts.

Complaining about the cost of flying. Yes, everyone has always made a
hobby out of bitching about the high price of aviation -- but we've never
seen fuel costs soar so much in such a short period, especially not at a
time when wages are stagnant or declining.

I, too, will always fly, no matter the cost. (Remember, you're talking to a
guy who sold his plasma for flight time) But as fuel costs continue to
rise our flight time will diminish -- and at some level it will become
impossible to do much more than fly the pattern.

I just don't know what that level will be.
