Now don't get me started on flying a helicopter. I'm thinking about getting a little time in a taildragger for something a little different. There is a 1946 champ that goes for around $100 a hour including the instructor.

I just got back from a trip in the travel trailer. 6 hours on the road, would have been an easy 2hour flight including the drive to the airport. And the fuel cost wouldn't even be that much different. It would still cost more to fly since I would have to rent a car and get a hotel room, but the trailer is for sale.

I go places for pleasure, no more work for me. I can always find a cheaper way to get there, buy a econo box that gets 50mpg and hit the road. But I can afford my own plane and my time is still worth something to me. And I enjoy the view.
