[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1512070, member: 498"] I know and know of several people with ranches who have planes. It seems to be split 50/50. Half have outside money and fly in to enjoy their ranch. Their money came from construction, medicine, and the entertainment world. They enjoy the life style but not the day to day. The others live so far out in the middle of nowhere that a small plane just allows them to get around. Most on here don't live the kind of remote that exists in some western ranch areas. The ranch my wife had on the Nevada/Oregon border was a two hour drive one way to the nearest grocery store or doctor. It was 25 miles each way to take the grand kids to meet the school bus. So 50 miles in the morning and 50 miles again to pick them up in the afternoon. People living that far from anything often get a small plane. I don't know of anyone who owns a helicopter. That is a specialized piece of equipment that takes a specialized pilot to fly it. But I do know of people who charter one to do a specific job for them. I take that back I know a Christmas tree farmer who has a helicopter. His son (who played T ball for me) is the pilot. They use it to spray the trees and to fly the trees out of the fields at harvest time. [/QUOTE]
