My dad, FIL & husband are all private pilots and all have owned small planes at some point (only my FIL has one right now) I love to fly with them - started when I was 6 - but I have never wanted to get my own pilot's license. It is completely different flying a small plane, though, isn't it?^

(I grew up in CT - back in the 80s, when my dad was flying there and had a 6 seat Cherokee, you could still fly the VFR corridor, New York City. WOW!!! Somehow I doubt that every pleasure pilot out on a nice day can do that now, but I don't know....)
