Who says you have to have a license to fly ANY aircraft? I know a few people
that fly, and never have had a certificate or a medical.

I have a license because I didn't want to chance teaching myself how
to fly... By the time I was trained well enough to consider myself
competent to fly without an instructor aboard, I figured that I might
as well get a license... If at some future date I lose my medical, I
suspect that I will still fly... I'm not sure what I will do about
insurance though at that point... Lying to the insurance company might
result in a claim being declined if the claim was attributable to a
medical condition... My aircraft is expensive enough that I don't
exactly want to handle the risk myself... Maybe I'll move to a cheaper
aircraft that I wouldn't mind risking myself... I don't know... I
guess I'll make the decision if I'm ever faced with that situation...
