i spent around 15K and i have about 150 hours, in cessna 172s, a bit of time in mooneys, some time in a piper or three, learned how to fly in mountains and was about 80% of the way toward an instrument rating. So, i spent about $100/hr on average but i had about $120/hr of fun :)

Let's not forget the $100 hamburgers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/$100_hamburger)

:-)

I was aware of the $100 hamburger, but from that article I found the link to 'Fantasy Flight'.

"Fantasy flights are charity flights operated by a host airline for locally disadvantaged and terminally ill children to fly to a fictitious destination."

I'm still mulling this over, but my initial reaction is very mixed/slightly negative.
