All of the above are valid.

For me, the simplicity of early flight is gone except with ultralights. I'm not a technocrat. When I first started flying in the 60s, there were lots of small airports/grass strips where I could go and spend the afternoon. It was a laid back place where you could usually get a ride and certainly spend time shooting the bull. The first club I belonged to rented a J-3 for $6/hr wet. No electrics, no radio, just flying.

I guess I'm just an outdated old fart now.
