I have used my airplane to travel to jobsites for many years. It has
several advantages. 1) By the time you wait in line to get on an airliner, and have extra stops and plane changes, especially with today's security issues, I can usually get their quicker. 2) I can often get there cheaper, especially if it's a last minute trip, or when I consider fees for changing tickets for my unpredictable return trip, or fees for extra luggage for the test equipment I sometimes need to carry. 3) Easy to change plans or add a new destination, which I have done on numerous occasions. 4) It makes me a happy camper. It's certainly not impractical. -- Gene Seibel KB0NNN http://pad39a.com/gene/broadcast.html Because I fly, I envy no one.

Evidence would suggest that GA presents value to some number of people in the world, because there are many people, both pilots and otherwise, that use General Aviation as a form of transportation. If there is no value in it, they wouldn't use it. I think it more likely that many private pilots use the pretext of transportation as an excuse to fly. Not that there's any harm in that, but they should just admit it and not try to pretend that aircraft are actually practical transportation for general purposes. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |
