I have flown a Cessna 150. Sort of like driving a small pickup truck, only in the air.
Flying them is easy. Landing them is a little trickier and lots of fun. I like looking at the scenery and not having to worry about what the other jerks in the sky might be doing.
I would probably want a few more hp than either a Cessna 150 or a Piper Tomahawk if I wanted to travel, but I think I’d want an ultralight just for the fun of it.
