To silence the whispers in my heart.

To show my children that you are never too old to embark on new journeys in
life, to learn and explore.

To honor the memory of every human being who ever dreamed of flying, and
most especially those who died before 1904.

To keep the aircraft manufacturers going.

Because since the beginning of time man has dreamed of fly. And we are
lucky enough to be alive during this time in human history to have it
available to us.

Because everytime I fly, I get another chance to drink from the well of my
soul.

I like that answer. Another more practical reason I use is that for a
given time constraint (say, out and back in a day), even my slow Cessna
increases the number of available destinations over driving by nearly
an order of magnitude. Rule of thumb: Skyhawk is twice as fast as a
car, but gets you there more like three times faster due to its ability
to travel in a straight line. So the areal coverage is increased vs.
car travel by a factor of 3x3=9.

Because it's nice to have people in Boston look at you funny when you say
"Let's have lunch on the Vineyard" and then realize you're not kidding.
