The To&L and ground ops become a whole lot more important! A
whole lot. For the most part, flying is flying. But to me there's just something special about being up in an old tube-n-fabric airplane like a Cub or an air-knocker. Personally, I would take a beat up old cub over a shiny new 172 any day.

Wow... I didn't realize you were a pilot for a living. Charter or airline?

I figure about 40K to get to where I'd like to go,...

That's about what I spent.

But it looks like I'm making a track time / Flying lesson trade off for at least the next couple of years. One or the other, but not both.

That's sort of the trade-off I made. I could own and race a Porsche, or I could own a plane - but not both. I just find the Porsche and racing offers me more events to participate in, and more people who share the interest. Besides, people with airplanes are pretentious jerks.
Wait... that's
exactly like Porsche owners!!!!
