I used to, about 3 decades ago. I have a private pilot license for sailplanes, and a bunch of right seat time in Cessnas. At age 15, almost 40 years ago, I was ready to solo while taking power lessons, but I ran out of money before I turned 16 was able, and never took that back up. This was back when power lessons were only about $60/hr. I think they cost a small fortune now.

If I had the money, I would get my power license and build my own homebuilt. Probably something like an RV-8 or a small bushplane.
