[Leica] IMG: Blast from the Past

[Jim Nichols]

Flying clubs, managed responsibly, are a great way to reduce the cost of 
flying.  AOPA is currently encouraging the creation of new clubs.

But, you are correct, the cost of private flying has escalated. The only 
King Airs on the field are owned by a fellow who sold his inherited 
company to a conglomerate, and another who owns a string of automobile 
dealerships.  There are quite a few Cessnas and Bonanzas, as well as a 
charter company with two Dassault Falcons.
