    I’ve always been really interested in aeroplanes. If it wasn’t €100 for 20 minutes, I’m sure I’d have taken a few flying lessons by now.

      Same. Although MSFS 2024 has been a buggy mess for a couple years, it does scratch that itch for me pretty well.

      Same, my coping mechanism is a small dji and working on getting drone certs. Charging a small battery is a lot cheaper than aviation fuel

      I fly a paramotor (powered paraglider) and it’s the cheapest form of powered flight.

      Costs about as much as a motorcycle to buy and run.
