Hi guys.
I have said before, the mission for most of my flying is to have fun. According to a recent poll by AOPA, 55.99% of the respondents only fly for pleasure and 20.10% fly mostly for pleasure and sometimes for work. With those kinds of numbers, one would think there would be a whole lot more interest in airplanes whose mission is to have fun, like a lot of the vintage aircraft, aerobatic aircraft and even AOPA's reimagined C-150. I realize some of the pleasure flying is for longish trips, but it looks like most GA flying is just for fun. I fit in the 20.10% group myself. Not exactly a scientific poll, but interesting results none the less.
