Doug- Pechs,

I'm interested in knowing what you actually decide upon.
BRBR

I'll let ya know. Knew the airlaines was not something I wanted(OBE now
anyway). Wearing a blue suit and being gone 50% of the time was something
I did
for 20 years, no mas....

Looking at perhaps buying a share of some small, tandem, cloth covered,
'nose
wheel in the back'(taildragger) type aircraft, so to not have to pay $100
per
hour for making noise outta avgas. Just want to fly around....

Ever think of instructing? If you don't mind working for peanuts,
there are always gigs out there; and there are finally some new trainers out
there so you are not condemned to flying junk.

I have a little flying job (that I insist be only one day a week)
instructing in sailplanes and giving sailplane rides. I suppose they pay
me, but the money is not the object; I think of it as a "free hobby" and a
free way to "scratch the itch". My favorite part of the job is the rides,
there is something wonderful about being up in the air with someone who is
wide-eyed and having the time of their life. My students are about 50-50
ab-initio vs. older power pilots transitioning to gliders. There is also
the soaring job at the other end of the rope...flying the tow plane, usually
something with the nose wheel in the back.
