Default Unscientific survey - why are you a pilot?

I became a pilot because I have had a lifelong love of airplanes and
aviation. It started from when I first played with balsa-wide rubber
band powered airplanes, continued with RC planes, my father getting
his license, and finally when I graduated from college and went to
work for Boeing. While at Boeing I finally made enough money and had
an opportunity to blow $4000 on flight training so I got my license.

I have never regretted the decision, and have remained an active,
albeit monthly, pilot since 1991. My most recent and one of my most
memorable flights I just made this summer when I flew with a friend in
his Kitfox 7A all the way from Caldwell Idaho (EUL) to Oshkosh (OSH)
and back. That was a greate way to log a bunch of cross-country
hours!
