I've always loved anything to do with aviation, but strangely GA never got me excited until I began my PPL. As the realisation sank in that this flying lark really is something you never stop learning about I am now fascinated with every flying machine, large or small. When I see even the most common all garden C150 fly overhead I wonder who is (s)he? where is he going? where is (s)he from? how good is their flying!
For me flying is a fantastic combination of the physical and the mental. For the self-critical frustration of a missed waypoint, a heavy landing, or botched RT, there is the always the sheer joy of a flight plan that runs like clockwork, an absolute greaser, or delivering BA-pilot standard RT at a rarely-visited controlled airfield.
Oh yes, and I love gadgets too
