Default What GA needs

I suppose if I just wanted to fly a Piper Cub,
things might be different, but I don't want to fly a piece of junk, and

I'd
want to be instrument rated.


Speaking of Piper Cubs, I just got my tailwheel endorsement in one and I've
got to say it's one of the most fun airplanes to fly that I've ever flown.
All of a sudden it's fun to just fly around the pattern doing takeoffs and
landings again at some small grass strip, or just cruising along the
countryside with the door and windows open at 60 mph.

If you don't have your tailwheel endorsement yet and you're looking for
something fun and challenging to do that will definitely improve your
skills, I'd highly recommend doing it, especially if you can do it in
something like a '40s vintage J3. It's alot of fun and it opens up a whole
new world of airplanes to fly.
