Why on earth anyone would chose to fly a 30 yr old, heavy, CofA, Avgas guzzling relic from the 70s is a constant source of bemusement to me.
Flying ultralights - within the restraints of a tight budget - I have two reasons for dreaming of a PPL:
1) being allowed into controlled airspace, or at least not being prosecuted when straying into it
2) be able to take more luggage than a tootbrush and clean underpants
Apart from these - which EASA is supposed to settle shortly - I can only agree!
