I've wanted to get my license for about 15 years. I kept delaying it because I couldn't justify the large expense at the time. Well, I figure I've put it off long enough, and the bills are under control. As for getting the Staggerwing...I'll need the lottery for that! But that's why it's my dream airplane. Realistically, I plan to get an old Aeronca Champ, Citabria, Piper Cub, something like that. I can find those for less than $30,000. Which is interesting because I have friends who say flying is only for rich people who then get into their $35,000 suv!
