"Before someone suggests that I hated flying and was looking for an excuse, I spent quite a few thousand of my own money to be a Private Pilot. It's not the same thing!"

That's because you are in control....

Really good point! I suspect many of us do not make great "Back Seat Drivers"....("You call THAT a turn?", "Log two landings for that bounce", etc.etc.)

I think many "hollyweird stars" become private pilots because they don't want to die in a commercial airplane...they would rather be at the controls...if I were rich...I wouldn't fly...ever...car, bus, or boat...only 'cause I know something about planes and they scare the hell out of me...lol
