I'd always had some curiosity about flying. I took an intro lesson in
an ultralight years ago. This was a plane who's frame and fuselage
was two large pipes. One long one with the pilot & student seats
bolted on the front and the tail on the back. The shorter pipe ran
verticle for the wings and engine. Kinda cool to look down between
your knees and see the pipe, then the ground 5000 feet below.
Seatbelts are good to have!

Didn't have the money then, so it all got postponed. The idea was
reawakened some years later by a flight with a friend. Several years
and a new job after that flight I got my PPSEL last September. I've
got 120 hours or so now. My wife likes to fly with me. I rent Cessna
172s and a Diamond Eclipse. No ultralight or experimental yet...
