Flying and travel clearly go together. While ships, trains, and cars have helped people get around more easily, nothing shrinks the globe quite as effectively as aircraft.
In general aviation, traveling by air offers rare luxuries like the freedom of setting one’s schedule and relief from clogged highways. Traveling 1,000 miles in a day is within reach, possibly before lunch. So why is it often hard for private pilots to make this “farther, faster” formula work for them? Why do many say things like, “I fly around, but I haven’t really gone anywhere lately?”
