If the 10k for the PPL is prohibitively expensive for you, then flying probably isn't the right hobby.

  It's not "prohibitively" expensive. It's expensive. Besides, it's not just the $10k, it's the $150/h every time you want to take the plane. That adds up quickly.

    The $150/hr is the bigger cost. I got my PPL a few years ago but haven't flown once since then. If you're going to fly, you need to do it regularly to maintain proficiency - you can't just take out the plane after 4 months of not flying. So a PPL is useless unless you're willing to spend $2k+ per year to maintain it. Do you need to go somewhere far away, often enough for that to be worth it?

    prohibitively: used to emphasize a cost that is so high as to prevent something being done or bought. Your rebuttal again is how expensive it is to fly. Some would almost say, prohibitively high?

      I never said that it prevented me from doing it. It's expensive, that's all.
