Funny you mention that Ron. I got my solo permit at age 15 or 16 thanks to the Air Explorer Scouts program. But I didn't pursue flying as a career, even though I sort of thought at 15 that I would be.
Actually I don't mind driving to be honest. I think what Judith said is a fair assessment. The drive is meditative. I find it pleasurable. The only thing I don't want is to overnight in AZ and I'd like to share the fuel cost also. And both of those sort of preclude sharing the driving with someone else. Well, I'm simmering this idea around. We will see .... :)
By the way did you go the homebuilt route? What do you fly? I trained on Cessnas mainly. I have most of my hours in a 172 and a 185.

Whew Perry,
I wouldn't fly either except I can't get to work if I don't fly. You could easily solve those issues you mentioned if you built your own plane, and then learned to fly it. Then the only problems you'd have is to understand a newly hired foreign air traffic controller.
That's what I did and neither my wife or my kids, ever regretted being able to go when YOU want to, go where you want and be perfectly safe without taking your shoes off.
Ron
