Turns out, I'm built for flying

Don't worry, I'm not going to brag about any 'skills' that I may or may not have.  I just thought about my personality, life-style and how they seem to fit aviation.  I've come to the conclusion that some great architect of life thought it would be neat if he/she/it/they (whatever your belief) were to mold me to fit aviation and were gracious enough to lend me the enjoyment to go along with it.  Here's what I got.

I love going fast and my vehicles, both past and present, can attest to that.  In a plane, the slowest I can go is still breaking most ground-based speed limits.  I'm happy with that.

I love to travel, but I hate taking those winding, out-of-the-way paths that add unnecessary hours and miles to my trips.  In a plane, I can go more or less directly to my destination at twice the speed: less time, less distance, more enjoyable.

I enjoy meeting new people and making friends.  Airports are a wonderful place to meet some of the nicest people around.  I'm still looking for that young, gorgeous, single and lonely lady pilot who owns a Pitts.

I can make the best of a bad situation.  Often times, weather or some other delaying force keeps a pilot grounded at an airport miles from home.  I'm okay with that; I can have as good a time at an airport waiting for weather to clear up as I can on the trip I've just taken (sometimes I can have a better time).

I enjoy a good challenge.  Learning to fly was the most challenging thing I think I've ever done and continues to offer new challenges daily.

Physically, I'm well-fitted to most general aviation planes; tall enough to easily check the fuel and stall-warning horn, yet I fit comfortably into the pilot's seat.  I also fit rather well into the weight and balance figures: nice round numbers often do ;) haha.

Someone said that it takes a special kind of person to fly a plane, but I'm not so sure.  I think most people could be taught to fly a plane, but that it takes a special kind of person to live the lifestyle of a pilot.
