I agree with Doug in lots of ways.  I fly because its FUN -- all
the other "reasons" are rationalizations.  It took me years to
justify to myself this desire to fly.  Then, I came up with a
"reason" -- actually, an excuse, something that sounded good.  In
fact, I reckon "I just live better with air between me and the
ground."  Flying-just-for-fun dead?  I sure hope not.......
