There are as many answers to this question as there are pilots.  Obviously, learning to fly will have one very dramatic effect on your life.  It will allow you to go more places and do more things in a day.  You decide when to go and when to return.  You make your own schedule.

     Ask anyone who is already a pilot why they learned to fly and you'll hear words such as "challenge", "sense of accomplishment", "fun", "rewarding" . . .  this list is endless.  Perhaps it's because being in  the sky is such a unique and rewarding experience.

     Whether you use an airplane to expand the amount of territory you can cover in your business, or take your family on a vacation that otherwise would be impossible, plying is certainly practical.  Add to this the fact that learning to fly and using the skill are both interesting and enjoyable.  You'll begin to understand why becoming a pilot makes such good sense.
