There's no standard answer to what to do with the aeroplane, and why.

I love going touring in a fastish tourer like a Warrior.

I love dropping into tiny strips in a taildragger or flexwing microlight.

I love throwing an open cockpit aeroplane around the sky for the sheer joy of it.

I used to find enormously satisfying the huge demands of bringing a Jaguar back with some decent test data and still in one piece.

I enjoy the challenge of spin-testing a new design, and coming back with both useful data and the aeroplane.

And in any of them, the view is stunning, and it always feels good to touch down on the numbers.
