[QUOTE="p238shooter, post: 2861637, member: 24583"] Being a pilot, I have looked in overlap similarities in certain areas also over the years also. I am not a lawyer, but I have noticed a large number of motorcycle riders and ham radio operators are pilots as I am. Also people that have more money than time may choose flying to give them more time rather than driving somewhere would take. Unfortunately a lot of doctors fit this catagory. The V tail Bonanza had picked up a little bit of a negative nick name because the number of doctors that crashed several years ago. I think in general, pilots are people that venture out and do other things rather than just being an 8-5 worker coming home to mow the grass and watch football on TV. Some of that is by pilots being more adventurous personalities, some of it by pure economics of the individual being able to afford to fly. I consider my personal aircraft a pleasure to fly, but it is also a time machine. I frequently make a less than 4 hour flight that takes 11 hours by auto. I hate to drive it, but sometimes WX conditions make it the safest way to get there. Unfortunately many pilots cut that judgement too tight if their time is short. Thanks for the post, it exercised my mind. [/QUOTE]
