Pattern Altitude
Even though I'm no longer searching for a purchase, I still look at classifieds for fun. And of course, I will first look in the Archer category.
Sometimes I see airplanes that are equipped as good as mine, maybe even better, with lower engine hours, maybe nicer paint, whatever. The price might be what I paid, or maybe even less.
Sometimes I sit and go "what if"... but I guess I can spend the rest of my life doing that.
Or I look at the Dakotas, and see what I'm going to have invested in my airplane after this engine overhaul is done, and realize that I could have just upped my budget and bought one, or an even nicer Archer.
Or, I could have bought a mint 150 for really cheap and maybe not be getting an overhaul 100 hours later.
What if, what if, what if...
I'm certainly not unhappy with the airplane I have, but always wonder if I made the right choice. I don't know if that will ever go away.
Anyone else "lament" what might have been?
(the parallel to women isn't that far off)
