A hole in the sky you pour money into.

As much as I enjoyed my flying days there
are limits to owing a plane. Take off, fly
around the patch for awhile, land. After a
while that isn't enough to justify the costs.

Airline pilots have the worst job
security on the planet. Fail one physical
and your career is over. Your airline folds,
get a job flying for a short haul operation
in Botwana or the Seychelles or Suriname.
Paid by the hour, no benefits. Meanwhile
you have 2 kids in college and a wife with
Parkinsons. Not for me..............

I wonder what his mama had to give the pilot in exchange for the plane
rides:
