If flying has lost its thrill (which seems to be the case for so many of the more seasoned posters here), please allow me to recommend taking up aerobatics. You might just find yourself passionate about flying again (and maybe even addicted). Just one man's suggestion.

Aerobatics is fun. Affordable? I guess it depends. Would be neat to have as a job. And that's the point. It's not the flying that is "a job", it's the job itself. The job itself (that which pays the bills) can get tedious....that is, layovers/commuting/reserve time, etc.....in specific reference to airline flying. If it were easy to pay the bills with flying aerobatics, that'd be cool.

I would love to take up cropdusting or SEAT fire aircraft. Flying an AT-802 turbine single-engine would be a hoot. That, or own my own warbird.
