Hey, at least he has the sense to spend it well. The guy has all but single-handedly preserved dozens of priceless and last-of-their-kind flying artifacts. |

Why was he pointing at various instruments and giving the thumbs up?
Is this a filmed test flight for a customer? |

Yeah, I think if I had hit one of those MEGA lotteries, I'd definitely go learn how to fly. I'd probably start with sailplanes, as my father who was a USAF pilot and learned at the USAF Academy advises, it's the best way to learn how to FLY.
Only if I think I had enough experience and could handle it, would I want to buy a classic plane and actually fly it. |
