To land a plane thats has fuel in the tank and lose flying time.

I can stay flying longer by running the tank out and saves me the trouble of emptying the tank out at the end of the day.

Well...If you know that it is time to land when the tank runs dry, what purpose does the ever present egg timer serve?

My question was going to be if one was so concerned about losing "flying time," why do the airplanes spend so much time in the truck and so little time in the air?

Well step one to owning a turbine powered heli is owning either -A- a turbine or -B- a heli. Each costs a lot of money separately, let alone together. Good luck figuring that one out.
