When I had my rep agency I decided to get my pilot's license. Did so and bought a Piper Cherokee 180. Went ahead and got my instrument rating and had the plane for about 10 years. What a blast to get in and go when and where you want to. That was back in '69-'79. So I havent' flown in quite a few years but last year for my birthday I treated myself to an hour in a Stearman at the Fantasy of Flight. Until you have experienced an open cockpit, you haven't flown! As you say 500 feet above the earth at 90 mph is one of my highlights. One more off my bucket list!!
