![]() "Jay Honeck" wrote in message ... I doubt these are the only reasons. The return on investment is what ultimately matters and is perceived differently by different people when it comes to investing $6000. Just as I don't have any particularly strong interest in learning to rock climb, I can imagine there are those who view flying with a similar apathy. In the end it would be hard to make the case that the PPL has a greater practical utility than say, learning to ride a horse. PPL flying is a niche hobby, and its hard to imagine that would change anytime soon. Hmmm. I've spent the last 13 years flying my family from coast to coast, Canada to Mexico, on vacations ranging from overnight to two weeks in duration. I've flown hundreds of times in support of my business(es) during that time as well. Leaving from Iowa City I can be in Chicago for brunch, St Louis for dinner, and home by the 10 o'clock news. Do *that* on a horse! Likewise! Leaving from Cheyenne, I can check on projects in Lincoln, NE, Manhattan, KS, and Alva, OK and be home for dinner. The next day, I can check on three other projects in-progress. That kind of flexibility isn't available in an airline, a car, and certainly not a horse. We'll do $5.7 in business this DOWN year. -- Matt Barrow Performance Homes, LLC. Cheyenne, WY |
