Small planes are fun to ride in. Helped out a friend of a friend who is a small aircraft mechanic for a year when I was down and out, so I got to go along on rides on the aircraft we worked on. Got me back on my feet.
Small, like Cessna 172 small. Or even lighter, like this one dude's cloth covered Sorrell SNS-7 Hiperbipe I helped re-skin.
That sudden feeling of suddenly falling out of the sky every few moments in a tiny airplane... love that. No, not kidding.
It's more fun when you jump out of them, I trusted my own landing more than I do those pilots in training.
Small, like Cessna 172 small.
Back when I was skydiving regularly we used to jump out of the 182 most often. (If it was only 3 or 4 of us going up.)
Would love to be able to afford something like that.
I could buy a small plane, not too much of an issue. It's the maintenance and storage that would kill me.
