Final Approach
Sad news - it hurt to do it, but I had to resign from my flying club this month, I'm just not flying enough. Between chasing medical issues and having a son in private school with a tuition just above "youch", I can't justify spending the kind of money I think I need to spend. Maybe after he's out of college...in 8 years...
So how do I keep active and stay involved? I'm a basic VFR pilot with 150 hours.
I'm a member of CAP, but my work doesn't really allow me to participate as much as I'd like. I probably could be more aggressive in pursing this as a flight option, but it's still not cheap and they really want a commitment to fly 10 hours/month at about $100/hour.
I'd love to take a couple of years and build a plane...and that would result in inexpensive flying that I could probably afford, but I'm quite sure I would die. Not from the airplane, my wife would kill me. Yes, I know.
Thoughts?
