unlike Obamacare, that aircraft actually serves a valuable purpose and isn't paid for with OPM.

This is kind of true, except it's really-

Old = Getting a Cessna Cardinal RG. At least that's my plan. Easiest plane I ever got into, or out of.

When I turned 63, I traded my fixed pitch, fixed gear Cessna 172 for a constant speed, retractable gear, high performance V-Tail Bonanza. When I get "Old", I plan to trade the Bonanza for a boat.
