Things to do as a private pilot ?

Since my family is not thrilled by the idea of flying in a small plane,
and I get bored flying solo, I am wondering what other venues there are
for a (VFR) pilot to fly people around. Basically I am looking for
excuses to do scenic flights within a 100 NM radius of San Diego.
CAP and Angel Flights sound rather stressful. Does
pilotsharetheride.com have a good reputation? Any other ideas ?

Nice spam!

Get a girl friend.

I got some posing history for "grubertm" in rec.aviation. I'm going with
....Not Spam.

I want to know if people have used it - or know of someone who's used it? I
really like the idea. It's been around for a while now. ANYONE??

If I can find out where Skylune lives in NH I'll give ya his address so
you can buzz him. He loves the attention.

Meet up with other pilots on the weekend and fly to some restaurant
together. It seems popular.

Join the EAA and give some young eagles a ride. The more kids we get
addicted to our fun the better chances of it existing in the future.
The smiles on their faces as the get out of the plane after their first
flight is " PRICELESS"....

Have you considered giving soaring a go? If you're not going anywhere
and going to be VFR, you may find soaring (solo) to be something a lot
more interesting than boring (pun intended) holes in the sky in a power
plane. You also live in an area with good sources of lift.

AngelFlight is a great thing to do. Not stressful at all!

I got my private license when I was living in Hawaii, and worked on a
snorkel/scuba charter boat. I would meet tourists and offer to take them
sightseeing if they shared the cost of the rental with me. Picked up about
30 hours doing that, and it was fun!

That used to be legal. Is it still?
