Learning about flying is ongoing forever.

There is a lot to learn and you can learn from reading, flying and discussing flying for longer than a human can live.

That is actually part of why I like flying now that I went beyond the initial Private Pilot's License stage. It is definitely one of my favorite parts of these forums.

It is like I told my 8 year old son, "You are never done cleaning your room. It is just how life is. You have to do laundry and housework forever. It is just a part of life."

Like flying means you get to learn as long as you do it. You can probably learn forever in many of the various things that go into flying, Navigation, Aerodynamics and Meteorology for sure.

You could hire a maid to do your housework ( sometimes getting married does the trick but usually it's more expensive.) You could hire a pilot to fly you around. If you stop learning, it might be a good idea,

I find that the more I learn about aviation, the more it spills into other aspects of my life.
I look at everything else in my life a little differently now. I assess risk differently, look at weather differently, prioritize stuff differently.

The biggest thing aviation has taught me is patience.
