I know a guy who thought it would be "neat" to own an airplane. He had NO
experience and had NEVER been up in ANY aircraft.....ever. He found a guy willing to sell him an "ultralight" (funny, this ultralight had 2 seats and 15 gal tanks). Anyway, he writes the check and jumps in and flys himself home in it (50 miles). Ironically (and what became his reasoning for teaching himself), the plane was destroyed a week later by an ultralight instructor. The instructor crashed it into a pond while he was on a "familiarization flight" before taking the owner up for his first lesson. He now flys powered parachutes..... People will do amazingly stupid things when ignorance gets in the way.....
