then flew the next morning then it is likely you have.


A pilot on drugs is a pilot whose piloting skill are being negatively impacted
by medications currently in his system, including illicit drugs and drugs of
addiction such as ethanol.

The real disposable income for equivalent lifestyle has significantly
diminished for the dwindling middle class.


That's not true when you consider that money today can buy
extraordinarily fancy stuff compared to even just a few years ago. I
remember digital SLRs in 1998 were selling for USD 18000 while today
you can get a good one for less than a 1000. If you look at catalogues
from even 2001, you will laugh at the primitive camcorders that came
with floppy drives etc. Plus do not forget the internet, wikipedia and
google are priceless yet free.

There is more to owning an airplane than flying. I also love to work
on the airplane. Many would probably consider me sick, but I enjoy
even simple stuff like changing the oil (of my airplane). The engine
overhaul, etc I did in 2002 was hideously expensive, but the hundreds
of hours I spent taking stuff off the plane, putting it back together, etc
were one aspect of owning that I wouldn't want to give up.


Those are also aspects of ownership that would strongly discourage anyone
interested in flying only.


?How woul dyou know? you aren't interested in flying, are you?
