Yes, and he has also seen what happened to others who leased aircraft
to flight schools, including my planes.

As in most things in life, you tend to learn your best lessons from bad
experiences... You gain experience in life by making bad decisions and
managing to survive them... It's like you don't remember the restaurant 20
years ago where you had the great steak, but you definitely remember the
restaurant where you ended up with food poisoning... The bad experiences
burn themselves into our memory cells considerably better than the good
experiences... Quite often, leasing back and aircraft to a flight school is
like ****ing on an electric fence -- it's an "experience" that you
definitely will remember... Looking back at it, I wouldn't do it again... Oh
well, hindsight is 20/20, right?
