No problem for Mx - he also has conversations with HIMSELF on usenet..... Actually, if you are flying an aircraft that requires two pilots, flying alone keeps you exceptionally busy. It can become a bit nerve-wracking during critical phases of flight. |

If you fly that much you should buy a plane which will bring costs down. I fly a Baron in simulation. That's about $1.9 million to buy. And I also fly a 737 and 747; those are around $135 million and $280 million, respectively. But you'll have a hard time flying 700 hrs in a year. That is about 1/2 of all the VMC hours there are in northern Europe. In simulation, I fly in the Great American Southwest, which is VMC almost every day of the year. Admittedly, but presumably not very much so. I was giving rough estimates anyway. From my standpoint, $132,000 isn't really any better than $250,000. No, but you'll reach the break even point pretty quickly. I find membership fees equivalent to 1 hour per 3 months or so, negligible compared to the hours you quote. Can you fly 747s at the club? |

How would you know, fjukkwit? You don't fly. Bertie |

I can! It's a pretty exclusive club, though. We don't let fjukktards in. Bertie |
