The more I learn about flying, the more I realize you don't need a
bunch of bells and whistles to make it fun. Considering all the toys
Rutan has to choose from, the fact that he flew in a C 150 says alot
about the guy. Same goes for Neil Armstrong, well known in the
gliding community for his love of flying, or all the guys and gals out
there flying Taylorcrafts, Cubs etc. Maybe if Cory Little had the
same outlook he wouldn't have become part of someone's living room.

Cory Lidle's type of flying is fun too. Flying from New York out to
California with his CFI is a blast. Its one of the reasons I traded in
the Aeronca for a Mooney.I like to go deep into Mexico. You don't see
any Taylorcrafts that far down and at least 1/2 the planes down there
are Mooneys (probably because they have extra long legs).
