My experience over the years was to call mid-morning and mid-afternoon. This is a college operation, using studentsto supplement staff....

Let's see, under Bill Clinton the budget was in surplus and mogas was a buck. But he was a lousy democrat, so it was all *ucked up. So now we got our man Bush, a re*ublican, a real man, six years of re*ublican congress and the budget is Trillion$ out of whack, user fees on everything and more coming, never ending war in Iraq, gas is $4 and the average take home pay is less than it was thirty years ago. Yeah, right, makes sense to me. Vote for Bush clone Mc*ain and maybe we can get gas for $10 and go completely bankrupt. Sure, that's it, vote Mc*ain. Makes sense to me. That'll really boost airplane values. Maybe its all that sun, Pappy.

So, I wish to thank Jerry Painter for his reasoned statement about the present condition of our country and how it has gotten to this awful situation. I don't wish to throw fuel on the fire with this message, but it was important that Jerry, or another of us, make it known that the "somebody" political statement certainly doesn't reflect the view of everybody on the list. Budd, I agree with you that this Yak List forum should be free of political statements. However, I don't particularly agree with your contention that it doesn't matter who "gets in". As a more than 40 year registered Republican, I think it is critically important that Republican party be soundly thrashed in this election. Then, perhaps, we could get back to doing what is actually good for our country and for us ordinary citizens.

Do I think the current prices are here to stay? Yes, I do. However, both Europe, Canada and the Antipodians have been putting up with USD5.00+ per gallon for many years and both have active, if not as prolific, GA communities. I see parallel's with the energy crisis of '79. The daily consumption rate for the United States has only recently matched the daily consumption rate of those days (see Energy Information Agency info for detail), and that's with a much larger population. The rationalization of daily oil use (namely, cars) had a tremendous effect back then and I feel it needs to be revisited. Now, if the current prices drive all the H2's and sparklingly clean F350's off the road then I'm all for it. Many of my neighbours have large ski boats with 350HP+ motors that they go fishing with for Lord's sake.. what are they fishing, submarines?? I rationalize my CJ this way: My car (Toyota Matrix) driven around 35,000km (22,000miles) per year = ~800 gallons. (~30miles per gallon) 25hours of CJ @14gal per hour = 350gallons. Total = 1150gallons vs Toyota 4-Runner (common larger vehicle I see) driven same distance = ~1300gallons (~17miles per gallon) vs Hummer H2 (lots on the road in Anchorage) for same distance = ~2000gallons (~11gallons per mile) Simply put America, park those ridiculously big cars (H2's, F350's), buy a Ford Focus/Honda Civic/Motorbike for your daily commute (or better yet, take mass transit) and put the oil where it's needed most, in the tanks of our CJ's/Yak's!!! Just my 2 (CDN) cents worth.

Some ideas would be a flying club or fractional ownership. (Berry, yes I like your idea, currently I can not afford the buy in) Using Mike's breakdown, flying 25 hrs per year (2.08 hrs a month). Lets assume there are 12 hours of daylight flying per day (year round average). The aircraft is parked for 350 Hrs of day flying per month, where the aircraft is available for someone else to fly. A more realestic figure would be to say there are 4 weekends in a month (24 day hrs X 4 weekends= 96 flying hrs available per month). So with 4 partners in an aircraft, that leaves one weekend a month for each to fly the aircraft. Weekends could be drawn by lotto(aircraft avail wed - tue), giving everyone an even chance of getting the aircraft on a weekend they want. If you did not get the weekend you want, you could then attempt to trade with the others. This would drop the cost for the individual, and poss allow more then 2 flight hrs per month. Increasing the utilization factor of the aircraft, and dropping cost per flight hour. With a club, you could add aditional aircraft (cross country, STOL, instrument trainer, Multi Eng, Jet, Ect), adding additional value to being a member. Anyone want to purchase a 1/4 to 1/2 shares of a Yak-52? have aircraft (Cessna, Piper, Twin, Jet, Ect) to include in a club?
