    That’s mild. We used to fly our C180 floatplane from Orillia to Henrys’ at Sans Souci for the pickerel fish and chips. Cost of food for 2 about $28,00, cost of gas there and back, about $220.00. I thought it was justified but my wife had different thoughts/ LOL

      I liked the T-shirts they used to sell at Oshkosh that read “My ex-wife wanted me to stop flying” – ha ha
