[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't imagine any reason why it would hurt an application.  Why in the world do you think it might hurt?[/quote]

No. It's because OP is worried it might look like a rich kid's hobby. Read the OP, won't you?[/quote]
But if he doesn't disclose it what will the colleges think he does with his free time - video games?  [/quote]

OP here. 
We know a kid who has this and he got his license over a summer and most kids are not doing impactful things over every high school summer. 
They are traveling, sitting at home, etc. Sure, some are in high-impact internships but most kids i know are not.

Then this kid flies a few hours every month.  He has time to play school sports, join clubs, etc.  
Flying is not the time suck you would think.  When you are paying $200/hour you generally don't go up for an 8 hour flight.  Your are up and back
in 4 hours including the pre and post flight checks. That's less time then my son spends on youtube on most Sundays  :-o  and he (my son) has plenty of time to do all homework and other extracurriculars.

I don't think we're going to do this but I was curious about the impact on college (and curious about other things but since we're on a college board here I posted about that).
