When we were doing that one client's project and flying constantly, the guy I hired as an instructor and he could do a ground school for me for a few hundred bucks, and then teach me to fly as we were doing the project, so it would have been very cheap to learn to fly and get a license. I was starting the study part and that project ended because the folks in NYC that wrote the checks had a big internal fight, and the money men left. They loved our service, but it was over.

My business partner is an instructor, and he could teach me as well. To ever fly the airplane and run the computer requires a commercial pilots license. My business partner does it all the time, but it would be years, and many thousands of dollars before I had enough time to be a commercial pilot. At my age, it just ain't worth it. It would be a job, and not a fun hobby I want to pursue.

I have had enough air time in the air to know it is just not something I dream of. I will stick to my cars as my hobby.
