| Reasons why a broomstick is better than a plane: A good broomstick has more power than a Cessna 152. You don't have to be licensed to fly a broomstick. No medical requirements. It costs very little to upgrade to vacum cleaner. Vertical landing and takeoff. Low gas mileage. Much quicker to preflight. Maintainance is cheaper. Reasons why a plane is better than a broomstick: It's awfully hard to carry two people and luggage on a broomstick. A plane has a place to put radio, cupholder, charts, etc. A plane won't give you such a wedgie! They usually can go faster. A plane can hold more than one cat. Much more welcome at most airports. You can't operate a broomstick in Class Bravo or Alpha airspace. |
