"SOME PEOPLE" aren't as lucky as him??????
Holy cats, what I would have given to have the opportunity, the cash and/or the time to fly when I was 15!!!!
Sorry, but at that age, I was working for a custom combiner doing the gypsy thing in the summers, and hunting coyotes and jack rabbits for cash in winter.
I sure wouldn't whine, even facetiously, about "only" having access to a 172 to fly at any age. The 172 is one of the greatest all around aircraft ever designed, and will do just as much as a Cub will do, just different stuff.
As I've noted before, they're all great, and the opportunity to fly any aircraft is a true blessing and gift.
