Lazy 500 agl flight over fall color trees ..... Following a river with its twists and turns ..... Circling over the green field watching the deer graze .....enjoying the shimmer of the sun over the lake .... Low enough to see the kids building snowmen. All while listening to nice music piped into the headphones.
That is why I fly.
Sure sometimes I need to just get somewhere. But then the plane is just a vehicle.
The comparison is like this: One is a Harley on curved mountain roads .... The other is a Greyhound bus on the interstate. LOL
