A “hundred-dollar hamburger” is a term that aviators use to describe the cost of flying out to a small diner in another town–the meal itself might cost only a few bucks, but when the fuel, maintenance, etc. are added in, it’s not quite so cheap. I used to fly to a little place that had tremendous fruit pies–if you’re going to need flying practice, why NOT add pie to the mix?
Better yet, if you enter my Goodreads giveaway, you could win a copy of Fly Boy! That way, you can put the $0.99 you save toward the cost of your next “hundred-dollar hamburger.” Good luck!
