Why Do You Fly?

[Evo7]

Thinking about it, that 'magic moment' bit isn't really the motivation, but it removes all of the frustration of flying (weather, soggy runway, no free aeroplanes and all the rest) at a stroke. Had one last weekend - coming back to Goodwood from Bournemouth and ducking under Solent CTA at 1500 feet on a perfectly clear, calm summer evening, yachts out on the water, IoW off to my right... That's what I remember, not the 101 lessons I've cancelled this year

I guess there's got to be something about aeroplanes though, because I've got no interest in or desire to fly anything else. Couldn't afford helicopters anyway...
