General opinion for you "crusty" guys who have spent time being current and non-current, proficient and lost proficiency, etc.
I am a helicopter pilot, 1000's of hours in whirly birds, only a few hundred in FW scattered over 20 years. I am also in the Navy so I know that I cannot start building for at least a year. I have some $ in a separate account saved to start a build. I have the chance to get in on a partnership where the hourly flying cost will be fairly low. Question is: What would "serve me best", spending $100/hour on a cherokee six gaining flying proficiency and having fun flying, or saving that $100/hour towards a build? I fly for work, so I can mostly get my flying "fix" through work.
Unless there are any RV owners that would take my money in the Jacksonville area
