Sad to see it go, but, wow, talk about getting good use out of an
airplane
.

I can't imagine just parking my plane at a salvage yard and
walking away..

Suppose you're right about Collins, but ego has no age limit.

Am I the only one that find this article self-serving?

In what way? Collins lost his butt in the deal, gave up his trusted old
airplane, and is facing his own advancing years. How did he benefit from
writing the article?

Hard to explain, but after a few sentences, that the feeling I got.

OK, I think his explanation not to sell it was to keep other pilots
from flying it was self-serving in a way that he thinks he's one of
the very few who can handle it (putting himself upon a pedestal) and
that his true reason is that he just can't justify the cost any longer
now that he has to pay for it out of his own pocket.

Well, I didn't get that from it. I don't think it's so much the flying it
par so much as it was getting old and the risk of someone getting it who
wasn't able for it killing themselves in it made him feel morally obliged
to do what he did.
That's just how I read it.

My take was somewhat different. This article read as someone trying to
justify a decision to himself. That is, I'm not sure he entirely
believed his presented logic that lead to scrapping the airplane.

Frankly, I thought the moral argument absurd. By that reasoning, nobody
should be selling any of those airplane thingies.

I found myself wondering if there were facts left unmentioned, as it
sounded to me like a puzzle with missing pieces.
