How much Money

[Jeff686]

Jeff686, no I'm not a pilot. I used to do a lot of aerial photography, however. Perhaps that's where the impression came from. I haven't done any for a couple of years--no call for it and it's a little costly to go aloft just for personal archive shots, as much as I'd like to.

Do you have a plane...?

Yes, it seems that satellites have taken most of the aerial photography business.

I used to do a lot of flying, in Boise and Florida. I made it to 14k ft near Boise, and used to fly for hours around central Florida, all in a single seat glider.

I've got my single engine rating, and was working on my IFR. However, Oregon weather kinda sucks. For 8 months of the year, flying here is work, not fun. It makes investing in a plane less attractive.

When we move back to Florida, I'll at least have a glider, maybe a little power plane too...

Maybe not, if the stock market doesn't stop dropping like a rock...

I would just love to find a job making half of what I make now, but allowed me to live in the States.
