any of you know anything about flying?

and apparently you can get a used Cessna for like 20K.

The kicker is the maintenance and upkeep required for a plane. Many $k a year. The annual cost of ownership for a Cessna was on the order of $10k when I researched it. Thats alot of climbing trips. Flying clubs are a cheap way to learn to fly (usually), and allow the less than wealthy semi affordable access to a plan.

Way cheaper to rent the plane when you want to fly.

If your interest is in flying as recreation, yes. I was looking at flying as a way to access out of the way places on a regular basis (fly to Bishop-Mammoth Ca as an example)

Becoming a pilot and actually flying after you get your license is exspensive. If you really want to fly there are aerobatic pilots out there that will take you up for a small fee and make you wanna barf.
