I've long considered learning to fly, but have decided that it would not be a healthy move for me. To give but one example, if I'm driving my car and I start to hear a strange noise coming from it, my general inclination is to turn up the radio volume so that I don't hear the noise anymore. Can't get away with that in a plane...
Sure cant.
But aircraft engines are very reliable.
But I have opted not to fly when I did not like the way an engine was running during my pre-flight checks.
I recommend taking a few lessons. It is such an amazing thing to do.
