I remember the first time I saw this guy, who had really big awesome airplanes and he just enjoyed building them. He always asked others to fly them for him. He really just liked building them and, I suppose, seeing other people fly them.

I never understood that. But I did learn that people get all sorts of "stuff" out of their own particular hobby.

One of my closest flying buddies is like a revolving door with jets! He just likes to get and sell, to get new ones! To each his own.

And I'm totally with you Jeremy, the camaraderie, and the fun ribbing, and the pushing each other on, is > 65% of the fun of the hobby for me too.
