The airplane was a mix of personal and business. Business for tax reasons, personal for well, fun reasons. She loved the plane until the plane started taking money she wanted for other things. When I learned about how much she hated the plane, I tried to sell it at first. I tried to refinance it. I tried to lease it. I tried everything I could to do something with it to offset the cost. Finally, I decided to just stop paying for it. Problem was because the area I was in was declared a federal disaster area, I could not refinance, restructure the note, or do anything. The bank would not even take it for the longest time. Finally they did. Same thing with the boat I owned. When I learned it caused her unhappiness, I sold it instantly at a huge loss. And then gave her 100% of the proceeds. As much as I loved my boat, and as much as I loved my plane, I loved my W more. And her happiness was more important to me than any material possession.

Her L in the D petition decided to put a provision in saying that she was entitled to a complete refund on any marital funds which went towards paying for the airplane. She claims she did not know of, or understand that addition, and offered to amend it to have it removed. To me, it was just a lawyers who was probably just giving a text book reply to a W who said she wanted to D her husband who happened to own an expensive plane. I know it as a pipe dream at best but in a D petition ask for everything in the world, even if you know you most likely will never get it.
