Unscientific survey - why are you a pilot?
Recently, Doug Semler posted:
Do you have a "family history" of aviation/piloting?
Yes, though mostly before my time (father was a WWII fighter pilot).
Are you an adventure seeker (anything from "true" adrenaline junkee to
"every day is different and brings a new challenge")
No.
Are you constantly seeking new challenges?
Yes.
(subpart) Do you find that you get bored easily?
No.
Do you have a "thirst for knowledge" (e.g. would you rather be in
school than working)?
I learn faster and more completely in real-world settings than school...
(subpart) Do you find yourself constantly seeking out new things
about flying regularly
Yes.
Are you a "control freak" (type-a)?
No.
Do you have hints of "delusions of grandeur?" or is it more like "I'm
on top of the world when I fly"
Neither.
Are you an introvert or an extrovert?
No.
If given the choice, would you rather read fiction or an aviation
oriented book?
Either, though much of my elective reading is technically oriented.
(For those that use the radio) Do you find that you have always had
good communication skills?
I'd have to ask those who receive my messages (my wife would give me a
mixed review on this).
Are you left brained or right brained (logic-and-math or Artsy
fartsy)?
Both, in roughly equal portions.
