     @shibao I just know flying a plane is going to combine that free+fast feeling of motorcycling and the feeling of flying that I get from FPV

     @Rocc Just as long as you have a place to park it. Everything else is secondary in airplane ownership: insurance, maintenance, training, consumables. Parking is what's killing. Not only it's expensive, but it's extremely hard to find. There's no market. You have to know a guy in order to get in.
     
     I rented for years. Although many people complain about clapped-out rentals, it wasn't an issue for me. But the poor dispatch reliability and the expense of even a short-term rental made me buy. I had a couple of cases, where the airplane that I reserved was taken away from me, either with a 100h inspection, or because someone else was more privileged. In addition, FBO managers really do not like to let airplanes be unused. My place was reasonable: at least they let me do it. But they charged $450 per day if Hobbs didn't clock 3 hours. So even a getaway for a week was racking fees very quickly.

     @avia@mu.zaitcev.nu @Rocc@misskey.bubbletea.dev planes are one of those things where it's much better to know someone who has a plane than to have a plane
