As it stands now, my costs run around $200 per year for my class 2

consider hanging up my spurs and consider LSA.



As everyone knows, this is only one of many ways the cost of personal
flying has spiraled upward in recent years. Insurance, fuel,
maintenance (and the difficulty of finding *good* maintenance), yada,
yada.....

All that, and the TSA crap on top of it all......I *DID* hang it up a
couple of years ago, and I haven't even thought much about LSA, which,
in my mind, doesn't really make anything much better. You still need
insurance, hangar, fuel, yada, yada.

I'm out. You gotta' "know when to hold 'em, and when to fold 'em".
