Generally flying a simple aircraft is easier than driving a car when conditions are good. The take off is far easier in a nose wheel plane, a tail-dragger takes a bit more skill and judgement. Landing is a totally different story. I had a private pilots unrestricted license with aerobatic endorsement. Flying became to expensive to maintain once I was married. Still miss it.
I would have given my eye teeth to have flown one of those Tigers on that trip.
Wonderful. Marriage stopped a lot of "stuff" for me. Piloting an aeroplane was not one of them. LOL - I wish, though.
I "almost" tried for a pilot's license back in Smithers in the late 70's. Had an opportunity to buy a Taylor craft with both wheels and floats for $3,500.00.
Just married and struggling to make a living. So- no pilot's license and no aeroplane.
