Horsefeathers. I just looked in the latest Trade-A-Plane with its somewhat
inflated prices and you can get a '56 172 with a 700 hour engine for $27.5
and that's the ASKING price. A '59 for $29.5. A '59 Tripacer for $27. A
'53 for $19.5. A '64 Cherokee 140 for for $24.9 and another one for $24.9.

My hit on it is that you wanted a reason to stop flying and the idiots in
this ng gave you that reason.

In the meantime, I have decided to push this long standing, all
consuming passion out the door. It will be difficult to turn in my
wings, but necessary.
