Brothers!! be quiet Dave, go play sand castles because I know too well that you are only jealous because you can't go flying as you'll hurl up everywhere

Look into paramotoring . I've done 7 solo flights now and it's shiny. It really is the magic flying chair we all dreamed of. Training to a flying solo level is under a grand, total equipment cost is under 10 grand all new, less if you buy second hand.
It is easily the cheapest most personally accessible form of flight.
Yeah at least 100k to train, and ex-mil types who love flying will basically do it for free
Not at all feasible for most of us.
But still, an amazing job if you can get it

Lots of aircraft crash investigators and pretend pilots on here
I'm a pretend pilot on here at the moment. For a lot they will remain in the sim world too as they simply cannot afford the jump to real world flying. I'm sure many would like to. Even if I end up not continuing learning straight away I'm still looking forward to a whole 5 days of flying a real glider!
You'll love gliding, its awesome. Lasham isn't bad to fly at but very expensive and a little limited in options! The only way to stay up is to find thermals! Its best to find somewhere with a hill or two as can make flights last longer, you can fly up and down a hill when the wind is blowing up it.

You could go cheaper still and go for paragliding. I've had a days worth of lessons doing this on the Isle of Wight and it was much fun. For me I want a rigid wing at the moment, though the idea of being able to trundle up a mountain in the Alps and soar off down a valley very easily is quite an attracting appeal.
