Secret second hobbies

If it floats, flies, or fu**s, rent it.
I was looking at purchasing, right now things are out of control. Even Cessna 172s.
A friend just had his Piper engine overhauled. About 40k.

I work in commercial aviation for a living. General aviation or G.A. for short seems like a real pain in the dick. I couldent be bothered with that. My brother is a private pilot and rents aircraft to keep his hours current. Nothing but a flying liability.
