I'm actually really happy that it didn't all work out, as I seem to have lost my passion to aviate. Actually, I may be parting with my bird just to become totally detached......I'm just not flying anywhere near as much as I used to, and I always find something more fun or interesting to do, as of late. So, the airport/airplane are distant.
Sadly, you are not alone in your feelings, Kyle.
For me, if the airplane was just for me, then the choice would be simple. I would just purchase a fold-up lil single seater in which I would just take to the airport when ever I got the urge to fly. But, I have two others to consider. Justina and Cheyenne. Who do not like to be left home to do their thing while I do mine. And I am much happier when they are with me. Should we fly to a destination at the cost of $100 just for fuel? With the lack of the convenience of having transportation when we arrive at our destination? Or should we just take a little longer and take the scenic route with the car? At only a cost of about $15? That extra $85 could even rent a motel room if we decide to stick around a lil longer. Or, use the option of taking our bed with us in the trailer? Add the cost of the hangar? Cost for the annual and other maintenance on a certified airplane? The choice to fly is getting harder and harder.
