Topic	My wife thinks Airplane! is "way too over the top".

Yeah that sounds about right. I guess if you can blow $1K a month on a hobby you can have a lot of flying time and a lot of fun. I'm sure there are worse ways to spend that kind of coin. My friend flies Diamonds and he swears by them, cheaper to operate and faster than the Cessnas, but the parts are more expensive so the annuals are a crapshoot. In the 1950s-1970s flying was cheap and there were so many more pilots who were coming back from wartime. Now you almost have to do shared partnership or join flight clubs if you want to have a plane with a middle class lifestyle. <cite>kelemvor posted [p:979564905] in My wife th...
