Coming home recently from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) I went by the Habitat for Humanity airplane! Now this plane wasn't a twin-engine propeller plane, nor was it a Lear Jet like many large organizations have to quickly carry small loads of 15 or 20 people to a meeting. Its tail went as high in the sky as a Boeing 767. What is a charitable organization doing with a plane like that? It must cost millions to maintain, and millions more to purchase in the first place. Those planes cost something in the order of $15,000/hour to fly. I wonder how many people who contribute to Habitat for Humanity know that their contributions are going for such extravagance.
