All very noble and touching but as I said before how do you that?

Its all very well being a generous old soul and providing free "passenger rides" to every waif and stray at your local airfield but clearly that isn't sustainable, and isn't that the great challenge in aviation?

Now I've taken the passenger ride and I took the time and spent some money to get a PPL. I even went and bought a Pitts. Now I find I would like to fly an RV or a Cub, perhaps some other machine someone could imagine.

So my mate has an RV its even based at my local airfield and I'd like to use it. The owner is happy for me to use his RV. The insurer is happy for me to fly it BUT of course the owner doesn't want to pay for my flying...

See the issue? And its purely self created by, dare I say, petty mindedness.
