Fly it like you STOL it ♦
Because no matter what I'm doing, I'd rather be flying.

Because non aviators and my underwriters look at me out of the side of their necks like I'm Evel Knievel or something.

Because it's a PITA with rules and regs and repair$ and liability and friends who snub me because they think I'm rich because I own a money pit. And because I'm not flying right now. :mad2:;)
 
...because at some point in every flight, I must mutter the words "full stop" and I always want to go around just one more time.
 
Thank your lucky stars. Wanting to fly more is so much better then wanting to fly less. Sucks when that happens.

And seem inexpensive!

Everything else in life got a lot cheaper once I started flying. :yes:

Yea, my wife said the same thing. I can no longer complain when she orders 4 pairs of high heels online. (Or worse, spends a C-note on a pair at the local store!)

Wait, I used to complain about her buying high heels...

... hmmm should have got an airplane sooner ...
 
You can never get enough.
 
....a 10kt gain above 130, on average, costs about $10K(certified world). And I'm tired of 130, but I'll take it.

Which is why, when asked "Why don't you fly for a living?", I always respond "Because that would ruin everything!"
;)
 
...because it makes me realize how much I REALLY hate traffic and the TSA!
 
my mechanic ...(I can't work on it myself, it's part of those pesky rules) tells me to **** off all the time.

He'll get to it when he gets to it.

:mad2:
 
... it makes it hard to focus on work always planning that next trip.
 
It really cuts into the days off! :hairraise:
 
Because my friends never look at the "glass half empty" side. Because I own an airplane I am not rich. I have to scrape and save to afford to fly. I hate flying because I don't have the money to do more of the thing that I love. I hate flying because parts are so damn expensive. I hate flying because I can't take all of the people flying that I would like to take. $$$$.I hate it because I can't win the lottery.
 
Every time I want to add something to my plane, I must understand that because it's going on a plane, I must move the decimal one place to the right of what it should actually cost in a car.

Going fast is way overrated. The faster you go the less you fly. ;)

Not always so. The faster I go, the FURTHER I fly.

With the RV (as compared to the Pathfinder) I'm flying more often, and farther, because (a) it's so fun to fly and (b) it's so cheap to operate.
 
I hate Flying for the same reason I hate my heroin addiction.

It takes over my life, uses up all my money, and I can't get enough.

Oh wait… I don't do heroin. Never mind.

I hate it because unlike my car, I have to sit down and write down every detail of the trip.

Or as they say: "the flight ain't over till the paper work is done."
