" Airplane ownership is like
having a dog. They demand
large amounts of time and
attention, they're more
expensive than you think,
and they provide both
frustration and joy. But on
balance, dogs and airplanes
make life way better. "

" My favorite part of aircraft
ownership is the ability it
affords me to get where I
need to go-for fun or for
work-with confidence the
aircraft is available when I need
it and without a scheduling
hassle. The icing on the cake
is knowing my headset,
kneeboard, and other pilot
gear are exactly where I
left them! "

" Owning my own airplane
gives me a sense of
confidence in the aircraft
itself-I know how it is
maintained, how it is flown,
and how it is cared for.
I've helped with annual
inspections, learning a lot
about aircraft systems in the
process. I think I took a lot of
that knowledge for granted
when renting. "
