Since it looks very much like I will be sans airplane in a week or so,

been kicking around options for future flying.

The major reason for owning a plane is convenience. It never seems that
there is a rental plane available when you want one.

At least something with performance.

One can always find a 172 or similar. Even here at 6,000 feet it's hard to
find anything turboed.

If you're just doing orbits around the pattern, that might be fine, but try
doing any sort of business or anything 500 miles away.
