Good point Jeremy. It may help with local sightseeing flights and aerial
photography, but most of the "gray areas" cannot be rectified with a
Commercial Certificate. They usually require the establishment of a Part
135 operation.

What are these gray area flight's you're referring to?

Why not get the commercial? Many people who get their commercial have
no interest in flying for hire. The training is a lot fun, you will be
able to comfortably do certain flights that fall under the gray area
as a private pilot.

Like Cecil, I'm finishing up my IFR rating soon. That has me wondering
what's next. I don't have any desire or time to become a CFI, and I
have
no
intention of becoming a commercial pilot in any sense of the word.
I've
thought that I might like to take a few lessons in a taildragger, but
I'd
need to find a CFI and plane first. Very likely at a different and
farther
airport than my usual.

So what's the usual choice for continuing to learn on a purely
learn-for-the-sake-of-learning after the IFR ticket?
