You can get away with not flying them as often and not run a serious risk of doing something stupid. That is important these days, with aviation gasoline running well over $4/gallon and over $5 at a lot of airports. And small airplanes don't burn as much of it as the bigger ones do. Fire up a Skylane and you're in the 14 gallons/hr territory. Skyhawks are in the 7-8 GPH range, 150s around 5.5 or so, and the real small ones are around 3.5 GPH. A few hours in a Cub or a T-cart classifies as affordable fun.
But it's getting bad out there for general aviation, I suspect.

If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.

COMMENT MODERATION IS IN EFFECT UFN. This means that if you are an insulting dick, nobody will ever see it.
Amen, sister. I keep thinking of filling the 100 gallon tanks on the Twin Comanche and I cringe. That is 1000 mile range. On the other hand, a wise woman once said "Don't ever feel sorry for someone who owns an airplane."
ReplyDeleteOf course, you can go somewhere in a Twinky. A thousand miles in a J-3 will take you three days.
