You were doing fine until the last item. 2-3X the price of a luxury
car? Would this be $150,000? You just priced the majority of people
out of the market. I've owned 2 airplanes (not at once) hold a
Commercial, Instrument and Multi engine ratings. After 4000+ hours, I
had to give it up. I can't afford aviation any more than I can afford
a boat. I make more than a lot of people do, but not enough.


You can't afford a boat? What the hell is there to afford there? I
bought my brothers boat this spring. Ten year old Bayliner 20 foot
speedboat we use for skiing, cruising the Bighorn Canyon, etc. After
the initial outlay of $8000 it costs virtually nothing to own. 32
gallons of gas lasts a weekend.
