hey - if we weren't blowing all this $$$ on flying, we'd be pi$$ing it up against a wall, or spending it on boats/racing cars/motorbikes, or our better halves would be spending it! i'm 37, will get my CPL this year, instructors rating maybe early next. maybe one day i'll get a job in a regional. if i don't try though, i'll always wonder if i couuld have. been up today doing aeros and generally having a great time. life could be worse. much worse.
