Yes and no. Certainly there are ways to spend a lot of money on flying, but that goes for boating as well. Boating is a rich man's hobby, too! People are always surprised to hear that a good used airplane is about the same price as a fully loaded van or SUV. But that's only the tip of the iceberg. What about fuel, and insurance, and maintenance, and charts and databases, not to mention the cost up front of just getting a license and keeping current with medical exams and what-not? I think everyone should be A) drafted in the military for two years, and B) taught to boat, drive and fly. Then we might get a better and more informed voting public. Many of the most uninformed people would never be able to learn to fly or even to boat; a lot of them have difficulty with driving. And they would be useless in the military for anything other than cannon fodder. However, many of these people don't vote to begin with. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |
