Writer's Block: The winning ticket
What would be your first purchase if you won the lottery?
Easy: The airplane I have my eye on. Interesting that this came up today, as the airplane is currently out of my reach and going further that way with each passing day. More accurately: I'm realizing every day just how out of reach it is. I might also buy a hangar at the airport, if one is available.
No, I wouldn't quit my job. I love what I do, even if it can be quite draining at times. I might buy a house. I'd definitely look to invest more in my company, and would likely use whatever else is left as capital for a future project. That's really what I'm about: making things happen, building stuff.
What is your thought about that (aside from finding it hard to lease from someone wanting to do private sale)?
I suppose you could lease a nice shiny DA40 from Diamond. Or something like that.
The short answer is that I would do the block time right now, but the owner isn't interested. :(
I can see that not everyone would be willing to agree to that. I co-board other people's horses but not sure I would let other people co-board a horse I owned.
I guess the owner is holding out for a full sale with the aircraft in pristine condition and low air time. I'm sorry for the disappointment. :(
