Why I own my Aircraft
Well I certainly don't need this as an excuse for owning my own airplane, but it sure does give you warm and fuzzies and justify all that is right in the world, even if just for a few hours on the weekend...

I couldn't pass up the opportunity to pass this along. It is the story of a nine year old kid who told ATC “REBEL BASE, THIS IS RED 5. WE ARE STARTING OUR ATTACK RUN ON THE DEATH STAR”. And ATC responded with “RED 5, YOUR CLEARED FOR THE APPROACH TO THE DEATH STAR. REPORTS HITS AWAY”. This is a must read story.

hahaha great story... i felt the need to comment because thats what life's all about... forget all the 50-hour, 100-hour, ELT, blah blah blah inspections...insurance, fuel... thats what it's all about, sharing memories with family, and i bet no money in the world would have made you a happier person at that point in time.
would make a great Mastercard commercial... insurance $___, fuel $_____, 100-hour inspection $____, playing "real life" star wars with your son while teaching him an ILS approach... priceless
