So, everybody, finding an airplane is easy. Just sit and wait and one will just fall in your lap!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
Or hit you in the head. I was wandering through the hangar at my flight school, and saw this silly little 150, so diminuitive compared to the school's Piper Cherokees and Warriors. I had to duck to look inside. I had no thoughts of purchasing a plane until the line-boy mentioned it was for sale, asking $18,000.
Having just purchased a used Suburban for more than that, I began to think. Within a month plane ownership went from a pipe dream to reality.
Buying an airplane is a magical experience. You can't force it. It's kind of like finding a girlfriend. You simply have to go through the various motions of actively looking, only to have the right one sneak up from behind, unexpectedly tap you on the shoulder and say, "Here I am! Now what are your other two wishes?"
