"the best hobby ever" used to be a tag line in the early intros for FT. I am not a very social person and I fly alone often but flying has helped me meet new people and build relationships with others I have known. I have buddy boxed and mentored coworkers and my children. I have met a new friend and introduced myself to dozens of others (far more than I would normally do outside of work). Because of the hobby I am not afraid to stop a flight park and strike up a conversation with a single person or a group. I am building skill, knowledge and using my brain in new ways. Plus I am getting off my butt and walking around (notreallyme will tell you I like to walk the field while flying). I have the best tan I have had since I was a kid. A big thanks to flite test and even Horizon Hobby for making this, the best hobby EVER, more accessible.
The simple joy of watching a UMX radian ride a thermal or the satisfaction of crossing the field inverted (or maidening and mastering a new plane) are things are look forward too all week long.
