In years to come, it's going to take a huge collecive knowledge base to
keep our old birds in the air. Imagine trying to do it without the internet. When we bought our Warrior in '98, I was just starting to explore the aviation newsgroups. Because I was so ignorant -- and there was literally no way to get the knowledge-base necessary to own an airplane, other than the "school of hard knocks" -- I was fleeced by an unscrupulous FBO to the tune of $5K for an annual. Had I known then what I've learned here (and in other places on the internet), I could have easily cut that bill in half. IMHO, rec.aviation should be required reading for 12 months prior to purchasing your first plane. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |
