Thinking of buying a plane...

[Gasser64]

What if you owned a bit of land and could put your own makeshift (but usable) runway on it? An old fashioned dirt runway. That way you could keep it in your own hangar and not have to pay all those damn fees. From this thread it looks like you'd save about $500 per month if you had some land.

An old fashioned dirt runway.

That isn't a sentence.

I've always wanted to fly one of these, if I was in the position to do something like this it's probably what I'd get.

Storage is probably the least costly thing about owning an airplane.

Oh memo.... How's the business going?

Build you a plane out of a lawn mower motor, glider wing and some sticks of conduit.

Never intended for it to be

So what's it going to take for me to fly and operate that mig-29 that's for sale?

[BMCSean]

Never intended for it to be, you sack of shit.

I almost followed through on a rotary license. I lucked out and had a neighbor who was an instructor and we went up during his maintenance flights. But the costs were just insane and I never followed through with any solo flights.

If I ever do get the itch again it will be with a gyro-copter. Zoom zoom!

@#$%!!

Those haven't hit the market yet.

The transportation business is staying afloat... barely. With the new city regulations it's even harder to compete with Uber and Lyft since they can pick up at Love Field now. DFW airport has a ton of competition. We'll see how it goes. Worst case scenario I have a few car payments that I can try to liquidate.

As far as flying, I came to my senses and realized I can't afford to maintain a plane. When I get the itch I'll probably do a lesson with a pilot that will let me take control in the air for a little bit and then I'll hand it over to him again. I spend a bunch of money on stupid stuff as it is.
