So how many hours a month does the average private pilot actually
spend with the prop turning?

It depends. The problem I have had was that either I could
afford to fly a lot, but didn't have the time; or had plenty
of time but could no longer afford it. Eventually it evens
out. Ideally, I'd like someone else to foot the bill, that's
what I am working on these days :-)

It always take 3 things to get anything done. Desire, money
and time. It is easy to get any 2 of the 3.

The Cowboys (1972) ...John Wayne

When our group of cow(boys) happen upon a wagon full of giggling young
(future madams) who are heading to 'the next town over' to set up shop,
the two adults at the scene decide ...these cow(boys) don't have the
money, anyway. And besides, Mr's Collingwood laments, "The first time
should be in the back of a buggy with a girl that they think they're in
love with."

She then casts her eye our trail boss, Mr Nightlinger, to which he
politely declines, stating, "Well, I have the inclination, the maturity,
and the where-with-all; but unfortunately, I don't have the time."

Roscoe Lee Browne
Colleen Dewhurst

I love that scene!

I note that this general rule applies to all sorts of things, not just
flying. You can have money or you can have time, but it's extremely
difficult to have both.

Bill Gates was once asked what he wanted most, given that he had
enough money to buy just about anything, and even he answered, "Time."

Eventually it evens
out. Ideally, I'd like someone else to foot the bill, that's
what I am working on these days :-)


You plan to become a commercial pilot or something?

I already am a commercial pilot, what I am hoping for
is to get paid for it :-)

it's like looking for a job (engineering): it is really
easy I found out, what's more tricky is to get paid :-)
Liz Phair has a really nice song on the subject :-)
