Well, in my case, that dollar amount would have to include the cost of
transportation to and from the nearest airport with rentals. That would
be
over a 200 mile round trip for me. Keep in mind, that when I say
affordable I am speaking only as it applies to myself. If LSA rental
planes were available at some of the small airports near me I would
probably
find a way to squeeze enough dollars from my budget to satisfy my
current
thirst for recreational flying. Unless you live near a major urban area,
LSA rentals are just not available at any price and I can't afford to buy
my
own LSA. That's what I mean by affordable.

If real airplanes are not available, there's always flight simulation.

Been there, done that, too. My old dual core computer is just marginal
for FSX with Win7 32 bit. I'm planning to buy a new i7 quad core with win7
64 bit soon so I can run with all the sliders at max. Got any
suggestions?g
