I'd agree, there are a lot of things not worth the experience. Flying through steady state thunderstorms (or any for that matter), low level windshear, freezing rain, near mid-air collisions.....

I'd second the aerobatic time. When I did my spin training I did it in a decathalon. After a few spins the instructor said "Well I can sign you off, want to do some aerobatics?" After a few rolls he told me he'd do some unusual attitudes. I'm used to, close your eyes until I tell you. However, when he said "recover," we were inverted. I was trying to figure out, add power or cut power, and finally just said screw it and flipped us right side up.
