There are a few former student pilots - as I was
one. I wanted the taste of the left seat and got
it through some flight instruction 20 plus years
ago.

It was a thrill - taking off from Addison field then
heading south over I-635 (the loop around Dallas) - I
still remember takeoffs when the "wheel" begins to
become live (exhibit force from the control surfaces)
as one headed down the runway. For weeks after that
I felt I only had to pull back slightly on my
car's steering wheel somewhere above 70 MPH to
accomplish the same thing that the Cessna 150 did!
