Sounds like a great motto to instill in to all new people learning to fly.

I wish I had the $$$ to have my own. When I started at my job we were privately owned. The small county airport is less than 4 miles away. When ever there was a customer issue the owner hired a plane to get a group on site ASAP. The most common plane I flew is was a 310 Cessna. One was a slightly larger Piper, but I do not remember the model. I miss to days.
