I agree with previous 2 posts in that if it ain't fun, at this point in your
life, why do it?

But I loved it. I had already done it when I was 25 in UH-1s, so I had a
strong foundation. But I couldn't wait to get another lesson. I loved the
Frasca, too . . . seeing the line plotted over a chart or approach plate . . .
seeing my holding patterns, etc.

I started having fun when I got Trevor Thom's "Instrument Flying".
Once I picked it up and started reading it, everything just flowed. I couldn't
put it down.

And I have to echo this comment:

when the hood comes off
and the runway is right there in front of me I always get a charge out
of that.


So do I . . . and the only BIGGER charge is when you are on the ILS for real,
and you get down to 300-500 ft before those lights are right before your eyes
where they belong. It's WAY up there in the gratification dept.
