Getting tired... Considering shut down

[toxic111]

I don't know what I would do with out my tank, & I am not as picky as some of you on here. I keep it pretty low key, that said, once my upgrade is complete I am sure it will be more work & $$.

I have my PPL as well, it took me a couple years to get it, but for awhile it was one or 2 lessons a month, then 1 a week until I was done. Now after a baby in the house & building a house the $$ were not there for flying. Been 2 years since I got any stick time. Ahhh, I need to some air time, but the new tank will come first.

I hate a weekend without my Diamond 20. Depressing.

My wife supports this hobby ... Flying... 100%. I will be student loaning it after I complete my ppl. She sees it as university education as my plan is to go commercial. So time off flying is not possible.

Trust me I miss the time in the air. Got time in the C172, C182 & PA-28. Have though going to Ed for a couple weekends & getting my multi in the Twin Star there.

I am hoping to get back flying this year, depends on a couple factors, plus I am trying to put together a trip to Africa next year.

Flying for me is just a hobby, I have no plans to do my commercial at this time. My brother has his PPL as well with multi. He was working on his commerical IFR and just ran out of $$. Now driving truck & making more $$ than he would have for several years. I do have one friend that is flying 767's for AC though out of Vancouver.

Not sure what you mean by wet, but I pay $152/hr + $60/hr for the
Instructor.

If by wet, you mean fuel, yes, included in rental rate.

Yet, wet means with fuel.. lol

Not too cheap on the DA-20... but then again I haven't rented in a couple yrs.. the C182 was $179+fuel surcharge Wet then..
