Well, here's an interesting approach to raising money via eBay. An aspiring missionary pilot is asking people to donate money toward flight hours and additional training so he can reach his goal of 500 hours (currently at 60) and get on board with an aero-missionary organization.

And, if you are kind enough to donate your airplane for him to fly, he'll even donate it to a Christian ministry or charity of your choice. What a guy!

Although, one has to admire not only his chutzpah, but also his dedication. I'm guessing he really wants to do this but one wonders how many others are/were in this same boat and they worked two or more jobs to pay for the flight time to reach goals such as this instead of sticking their hand out. Each has their own way of doing things I guess. Best of luck to you computer_doc...
