Default What would you buy with a 50k budget?

The only way to acheive the lofty goal of becoming an experienced
pilot, would require an aircraft in the 80k to 100k price range. Add
to that the cash reserves for the gotchas and the typical operating
costs and let's just say I will have to wait until I win the lotto to
see this dream come true.


Nonsense.

There are lots of simple aircraft out there for well under $80k at
todays prices that won't eat you alive with gas, insurance and
maintenance more than capable of 100+ mile cross countries.

I took that attitude and screwed around until I was 60 to buy an
airplane.

That is one of the major mistakes of my life.
