And considering the closest thing would be owning a 30 year old foreign military jet at $3,000 a flight, I doubt it was ever really in the cards ;-)

In the meantime

Nothing beats flying someone else's plane on someone else's dollar!

If I were given access to the equipment, I'd give it a try. A couple touch 'n go's to get the feel for it and I'd probably be good. Good enough for my crazy *** to try it anyway!

Short/soft field work was always my favorite and speciality. My dream job is being a bush pilot. Pipe dream at this point.
 
I know where there's some deals on 172's in Lancaster, TX.

Unless it was free, came with a free storage contract at a local airport, and I could do so the MX myself rather than pay an A&P, maybe I could afford the gas on occasion. Aviation is WAY too expensive, but there's nothing else like it.

Oh, and it would have to be a "N" model or older. Gotta have my 40° barn door flaps!

I believe 1 or 2 are. I can get details, if interested. Dad's an old school A&P. Doesn't like "glass" cockpits. Cesna's are $25k each. Ercoupe's not for sale, AFAIK.
