There's the problem in your logic. You are assuming that an airplane owner
that just uses the aircraft for recreational trips isn't getting enough
utility out of it.

That seems like a good analogy, but for one thing: you get enough utility
out of your car to justify the cost of owning it as it is, and it is not
a huge cost or hassle. If recreational trips is all the flying you do,
then every trip made in a different airplane from the one you've paid and
keep
paying for takes away from its utility and drives the cost/value number
ever higher.

Yes, you can still rent if you like, in addition to owning an airplane.
If you can afford both. Your airplane sitting on the ramp is money
wasted,
and this can be a significant factor when choosing your next
destination.

Let's say I'm like the majority of the population and don't own a plane
and
I take and airline across county and need to travel on the surface once I
get there. Should the fact that I own a car at home have any effect on my
decision whether to rent a car or walk?
