You miss it...
Sky,
I have a feeling you miss it much more than you like to admit. Otherwise you wouldn't have over 5000 posts on APC! Maybe it wasn't for you for the long term, but you miss it. That's ok. We all would miss it and would try to tell ourselves we didn't!
BTW, I love flying the C-150 too! It's usually more fun than the Navajo or the SR22, but only for a short time!

AtlCSIP,
Sure, it is no secret that I miss flying. Of course I do, but there just are not enough good flying jobs out there that offer a decent QOL and enough wages to properly support a family on.
If I had my way we all would be captains at the major of our choice. The odds of making it to someplace good are very low. It just is not worth it anymore and that is sad.

In addition I have flown bigger and faster planes but there is a simple joy in flying a 150 has that is not there in any other plane. It probably comes from the knowledge that it does not cost all that much and that I don't have to fly it for a living anymore.
