I"ve owned two airplanes, a Cessna 150 and a 172. The 172 had the Lycoming IO 360 engine with a Stoll kit. That thing "wanted" to fly! It was expensive...pure and simple. I wanted to learn how to fly "my own" airplane. I didn't like the idea of always having to go out and rent a plane each time I needed to go somewhere. Plus, I knew I'd take care of my own plane whereas I wasn't sure about what the "other guy" had done (or not done) to the plane prior to me getting in it. 'Same way with multiple ownership. If you truly trust your life with the other owners, then go for it. Me....no way. It was mentioned that you should be prepared to "wait" while flying due to weather. THat is SO true! There is a saying, "Don't go by air unless you have time to spare". I got my private license, then my IFR rating, then my commercial license and then "almost" completed my instructors license. I decided I didn't need the stress of taking some other "nut job" up in an airplane. Flying requires your absolute attention at all times. For me, it was never stress free, never truly relaxing. You have to be on your toes constantly. I flew for about 10 years and then sold both planes about 8 years ago. I haven't flown since and really don't miss it. I think the "bragging rights" now are enough to satisfy me. I did accomplish one primary goal for myself. I was "truly" scared to death of flying prior to learning how to do it. I got over that fear. To me, that's a major accomplishment.
