Still here.
The science of flight simulation has advanced mightily in the past five years.Yet simulating aircraft ownership remains relatively unchanged: Just stand on your back porch and fling $20 bills into the breeze. To simulate a twin, use $50 bills.

That might not be large enough bills!

It would probably be cheaper to go to school and get your A&P and then buy an airplane.

Dad has had guys in his classes who's only reason for getting their A&P is to work on their own airplane.

Generally they're pretty good guys, but every now and then he'll get one who gets pissy at Dad because he has to learn everything in the program to pass the tests and get the licenses. Because "I'll only be working on my 172, why do I have to learn all this turbine stuff?" Wah. That's the way the certificate and the program works, that's why!

Those people exist in flight training too!

"I'll never use a sectional when I'm flying daddy's jet."

I'm not making it up.

How long does it take to complete the program and what is the average cost? Heck I might do it myself just to learn something new. With my air conditioning technician background it might be fun.
 
At the school I go to the A&P class meets 4 nights a week, Monday-Thursday. They start at about 5:00 and end at 10:00 I believe. They do that for two school years.
