Yes my thoughts too. Could be a great experience. I looked at a (POS) 172, pre COVID. 60K, I wouldn't let anyone I like fly in it, let alone my son or self. I would be very amicable to leasing a newer aircraft with an advanced cockpit, aka Garmin 1000, but I don't know whether 200-300 hours leases are doable for SE aircraft.
