Default Excellent TV Piece on GA

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.
