You couldn't be more wrong if you tried.

People who have the means don't generally fly airplanes like
Learjets

Barons for leisure because they are not particularly fun airplanes
to

fly if
what you're after is the sheer joy of flying.

Sure, they're all fun to fly initially when you're learning a new

aircraft,
and larger, faster, and more complex is always a bonus. But after
the honeymoon is over all the pilots I know would chose the
smaller, simpler aircraft to fly for fun every time.


Perhaps that is what you would choose, but someone is buying Barons.
If

what
you say were true, everyone would be flying ultralights, as they are
the smallest and simplest of all.


Do you understand the difference between flying to get somewhere and
flying for leisure?


He doesn't even understand the difference between sitting in a chair at
a desk and flying for chrissake!
