I fly a Cessna P210N Silver Eagle. It's my 3rd one after a Speed Canard and a T-Arrow.
I currently hire a C150.
About to compete a checkride on a PA28 Warrior and a Eurostar, and shortly after a few more hours an SR20 and an C172 which I think I will do my IMC on as the C150 has no Nav Aids since the VOR has ceased to function.
All of which I will be able to then hire by the hour wet
Hire. Sometimes at commercial rates, sometimes at reduced. Few times I had flown for free, just as exchange to being safety pilot and mentor for the other leg. Owning a plane would be nice, but out of question for at least some years.
I've owned a TB20GT since 2002
1 plane + 1 woman = happiness 
1 plane + 1 woman = happiness
You can place even more happiness on the back seats. I chose the TR182 because it has all the bells and whistles of a complex aircraft but is also very large and carries a full family plus 7h of fuel, a baby bed, stroller and luggage for 2 weeks. With the C210 and the Grand Caravan, your family planning is almost without limits as a Cessna customer. All you have to know is 65 knots in final.
Mine is also owned, a Cessna R172K. Very fortunate to have private airfield also. Trained on Cessna and have never bought anything else or even wanted to (well not in my price range anyway).
I fly a rented Piper Arrow II.
It belong to a club, though it's probably more like a large group.
There are about 15-20 of us in it, but only maybe 5 of use who fly anyway regularly.
Have flown Jodel 1050 as a group member since 1990. Occasionally hire - Pa28/38, C150/152/172. Have flown Jackeroo and Chipmunk, but have no desire to do so again. Thinking of buying something as sole owner.
I own now a 66 Bonanza V35. I started ownership with a 84 TMG Valentin Taifun 17E and moved on to something faster a 78 M20J fantastic aircraft glides also well btw....
I am self-employed and my microlight is actually owned by my own company, though I'm not sure how long that scheme can be kept up. Have considered inviting a second owner to it, because it's a shame to see the little bird passing so many idle hours in the hangar, but don't really like the idea.
Like Achimha, I spend my working days behind a computer screen, though only exceptionally fior 14 hours - I can and will work that long, but can't keep up efficiency. I do have the luxury of occasionally visiting a data centre so that I know what the machines look like that I work upon.
Flying the little craft is wonderful, but working on it is one more very nice way to change my thoughts. And the greatest luxury I have, as an aviator, is a whole gang of like-minded people, who are always available for advice or discussion or a helping hand.
