one of these classmates is not like the others

Folks on the mailing list for the Sh'liach K'hilah program have been discussing travel plans for this July's session (mainly, I think, so that those who are flying can coordinate airport transport). One person posted that he'll be flying his personal plane.

His what? *boggle*

Depending on the size of the plane, it's not outrageous. A Cessna 150 or 152 (2 seat trainer; a 150 is what flew into the no-fly zone and caused mass panic in DC last month) can be had for under $15K (used, but they tend to be maintained).

OTOH, it's not all THAT east to get the license; it takes a certain amount of time and money.

Thanks. I hadn't realized that private flying was as accessible as it apparently is.
