Yeah I'm just doing it for fun. Perhaps an encore career, but for now just fun. I have an 8 year old son who likes planes too so if I have a family plane he can solo at 16 and get his PPL at 17. Get him off the internet for a while.
Same with the dirtbike and go-karts. Less screen time is always good.
