ahhh flying for fun! what more could there be! i didnt want to go down the pilot career path because i believed doing something for a living will in the end, destroy the thrill of doing it for fun!

so i bough my own aircraft and fly whenever i can! and its surprisingly cheap! $25,000 for the plane, cruises 100Kts, 700Nm range, tail dragger, open cockpit options, +12 -6G rating,and all for the running cost of $15 per hour, including replacing the engine in 400 hrs instead of overhauling it!,
but still, nothing can compare with the sense of pride i have lifting off in my OWN plane! to do whatever i please! chase clouds, loops, rolls anything , total freedom! i wouldnt give it up for a top airline job!

if you are thinking of getting out, then your hearts not in it! get out and enjoy flying for fun!
