being a pilot is too much work for some of us - but that sport pilot license looks fun

I was happy to see the FAA add that classification. It's pretty much what saved aviation for regular guys.

Check out the EAA and the homebuilts flying nowadays. They're pretty efficient and many have a good safety record. I have a feeling that GA is going to play a much larger roll in America's near future.
