Yup...I speak from experience.

The late aviation writer Gordon Baxter put it like this: "What does it take to own an airplane? Everything you've got." A house isn't nearly as bad.

I'd call you insane, but you're a bachelor. You've got the right to spend your resources as you please. And if owning a plane keeps you mentally lively, gives you pleasure, and has some practical utility for you, why not?

Exactly. I've wanted an airplane of my own for 20 years, and now that I can finally afford one, I'm damned well going to do it.

It'll also make some things possible that aren't otherwise...for example, it'll cut the time needed to go visit Paul's parents from 6 hours each way to 2, and that means that we can actually plan a visit for a day.
