    I love flying in small planes, so when I was younger I thought I’d like to get my pilot’s license. Then I thought about what you just said, and I decided it’s more fun to be able to just look out the window and enjoy the view.

      It’s still worth seeing for yourself. It’s quite a feeling being able to take flight under your own control

      One of the paths I sort of regret not going down was flying float planes. I live in an urban area with crowded airways so it was always on your toes, but not too far up north are a lot of lakes with limited road access. Flying a float plane would let me commute to cheap lakefront property, while also spending more time is less congested airspace. I might have had more time with the challenges of flight rather than tedium of communication, coordination, planning
