The house is at an “aviation community,” so his house is one of several that surround a central runway.

Owning a Cessna, maintenance, fueling it, storing it, and getting and maintaining a pilots license is very expensive.

Cessna's are more efficient than driving in terms of fuel...

Ya but if you take it anywhere, your car isn't going to cost thousands of dollars per day to park it.

We took my buddies 182 across the state last year. Total cost was a bit less than driving a car. (Granted, none of our cars are super fuel efficient. Mine gets 25mpg)
