Unscientific survey - why are you a pilot?

Do you have a "family history" of aviation/piloting?
No

Are you an adventure seeker (anything from "true" adrenaline junkee to
"every day is different and brings a new challenge")
No (Well maybe the like new challenges end of it)

Are you constantly seeking new challenges?
Yes (If that applies to everytime I fly my sailplane, 2nd challenges
are building new electronic or mechanical gadgets, usually for my
sailplane)

(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)?
Yes, But prefer hands on learning to going to school.

(subpart) Do you find yourself constantly seeking out new things
about flying regularly or do you only look it up when you run across
something you don't know.
Yes, But that is a lot of what Flight Instructors do.


(subpart - for instructors) Do you enjoy it when your student "gets
it" or has that "aha! moment?"
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"
No, Ok I do get that "On top of the world feeling" when at 17,500 feet
over the Central Idaho Wilderness in my Sailplane.

Mostly intorvert. I am the quiet one.
