Night rated for just over a year now and no regrets. Lots of fun and gives
a bit of a fudge factor for leaving early or arriving late.

As a VFR only pilot, I thought it pointless to get a night rating due to
the
potential difficulties of encountering a "black hole" and not having the
skills to get back to safety. But our flight school encourages us to
experience the beauty of night flying on clear nights.

Just wondering, how many VFR only pilots have and USE a night rating?
