I always thought I would like to learn to fly so I went up to the Fort Meade Flying club shortly after I retired and took an introductory lesson. It was fun but I realized that it didn't make sense for me. The DC area is highly restricted now so there are limited areas to fly in. But what really set me back was the realization that I would probably have no one to fly with. Unless you travel a lot to locations you can take a small plane to who will go up with you? Everyone will want to go once or twice but after that they will beg off -- it just isn't that thrilling for a passenger. So you get to fly around by yourselflowflyer said:How about learning to fly?

DOG52 said:True. For me in retirement it will be a major portion of my life. But for some, it will be a much smaller part, therefore a hobby to those.
Jar, I bet you are having a lot of fun with that. Imagine, getting paid for doing something you love.
