Funny enough I enjoy the
ownership of an aircraft as well as flying it. It is not stupid to buy an aircraft if you are aware of the expense and responsibilities that go along with it. I like the freedom to spend what I like on the aircraft, fly where I like and for as long as I like and be free of all the hassles which co-ownership brings (like personalities!). It costs more, a lot more but I wouldn't have it any other way.
