And you still can't fly a plane.

Since I've never tried to fly a real plane, it's impossible to know whether I
could fly one or not.

I soloed in 10 hours.

That's okay; it's not a race.

At the time, the plane and instructor totaled $18/hr.

I wasn't around in World War II.

You've spent 720 hours, and what have you accomplished other
than indulge your fantasies?

A great deal of enjoyment. I like flight simulation.

You can't fly.
You never will fly.

That has not been established, but it doesn't really matter, since I prefer
simulation.
