Oh, Puh-leeze. Show of hands. Who believes that plane is already in Pakistan, buried in the sand for later use? ;)
Gallows Humor, but Prayers Up for the family & friends of the pilot.
I have a friend — 60ish— who bought a plane recently. Because of his health (heart problems) he can only get a “sport” license which does not allow him to carry passengers, or fly at night. Also, trips less than 500 miles.
I think he’s nuts and has a death wish. His wife says it is something he’s always wanted to do, so let him do it. Privately, he tells my husband that he’s a little afraid of the plane and hasn’t tried it out yet.
What amazes me is the number of new friends he has acquired who also have planes. One of my friend’s neighbors has a terminal illness, but he’s building a hanger for his plane right in his back yard. In the middle of Mequon!
I asked my friend, “What’s he going to do for a runway?”
Right now the only immediate use for the hanger is for a wedding reception for one of his kids. They are all a little nuts.
