Can anyone give me a good logical reason to spend so much money to fly
airplanes or helicopters for private use? After more than 50 years I'll
be damned if I can come up with one. But I still do and probably will.
WHY?????


Sure, I can give you an excellent reason. Because I want to.

Reason's got nothing to do with it.

As my little girl would say because its cool.

The last few years I have been scouting for real estate. Diving
through several counties' congested traffic is more than I can bear,
so I hop over it and enjoy myself and the magnificent view from above.

Imagine driving back and forth through the Mojave Desert between
Laughlin/Vegas and Los Angeles/Orange County; that heat and congestion
would spoil the vacation entirely. And there's no moronic LEO hiding
behind a billboard. The freedom from ground-bound travel is more than
worth the cost.

Airline travel, just say no! :-( Congested hub airports, waiting for
their schedule not yours, intrusive "security" measures, stuffed into
the cabin with who knows what viruses infected soles, that's not for
me thanks.

It may cost a little more flying yourself, but the benefits of private
flying far ought weigh the additional expense.

Because a boat doesn't fly!

To silence the whispers in my heart.

To show my children that you are never too old to embark on new journeys in
life, to learn and explore.

To honor the memory of every human being who ever dreamed of flying, and
most especially those who died before 1904.

To keep the aircraft manufacturers going.

Because since the beginning of time man has dreamed of fly. And we are
lucky enough to be alive during this time in human history to have it
available to us.
