Great responses - I especially like the ones telling me to "just get your own plane". Hopefully Gulfstream accepts credit card points and green shield stamps.
I know you lot are all millionaires but think of the impoverished man. Having said that if I could recoup all my losses from Vegas.......
It was an interesting thought though - I confess my biggest surprise was the actual cost, probably about $400. Light aviation certainly isn't light on the wallet.
