Great story, but in truth this could have just as easily been done with
a club or rental aircraft. It's an argument for =flying=... for =being=
a pilot and using the licen...er... certificate g. The main advantage
of owning is that it's always there for you.

The story starts with "So instead of mowing the lawn like my wife had
planned for me, I
decided to go to the airport..."

I was a member of a flying club for one year. During that time, every time I
called to see if the aircraft was available *now*, the answer was no.

Had the author been a member of that club, the story would have ended with a
cold beer after mowing the lawn.
