Default Common instruments on small aircraft

Actually, you are incorrect. MANY airports have museums either on the field
or within walking distance.


The Louvre doesn't.

There are also airports within mountain terrain
(and of course, you don't actually have to land on a mountain to appreciate
it from the sky). And there are even several airports with Beaches on the
field or within easy reach of the airport by walking, taxi, or public
transportation.


I guess if you want to see the specific museums, beaches, or ski
resorts that are right next to airfields, then you're in luck. If you
want to see anything else, though, that's not going to work.

Cab rides don't count.

There are many pleasurable things to do using aircraft, especially if you
enjoy flying.


Yes. But aircraft for basic transportation are far less practical,
except for the kind of long-distance transportation provided by
commercial airlines.
