My story almost exactly.

What I will never understand are the owners who almost never fly. I can
see a temporary stretch of low or no activity for health, financial or
other oersonal reasons, but there are so many who own an aircraft for
years and just let it sit. I don't get it.


Ego? Some weird sentimental attachment?

Once the airplane is paid for and has sat for a year or two, it
really doesn't cost the owner much to let an airplane sit longer.
I was almost in that position (long story) - while I was deciding
what to do with my airplane, it only cost me insurance (non-flying)
and tie-down ($45/month) to have the airplane sit there.
