Heck, I wish I could fly everywhere for that matter. From what I understand, there are some pretty level headed nice people in the air. So, I feel safe up there. Can't stand driving anymore. It used to be fun, driving. Not these days.commitment I'm enforcing into my own flying.

I realize that I have a high (maybe even higher) level of responsibility as VLJ single pilot and I take that responsibility very serious. At the same time, I plan to have a lot of fun, too! Thanks for the concern and the post.
I really like GA and am still active flying small planes. However do not kid yourself thinking you will be safer flying then driving.

A unconfirmed quick google searched told me that flying a GA aircraft was 19 times more deadly then driving.

Follow your dream but it is a risk for you and anybody you take up.
