I did once and it was cool even though i have a fear of heights. I only have it in real life though, so go ahead to /r/fearofheights and repost until you're blue in the face.
I don't really reddit so idk if that's even a real subreddit, anyway, where waa i? Oh flying. If you get your plane drivers license, you'll also know how to speak pilot, like: hello tower papa echo sierra niner niner requesting vectors for final on approach over.
The best part is you get to memorize all the things that can go wrong, what the corresponsing alarm sounds like and what procedure to follow in order not to die.
I mean i'd get my wings, but planes are expensive and a little Cessna is pretty lame anyway. So instead i listen to ATC chatter with pilots who just declared a mayday. Never fails to brighten my day.

When I was a young mechanic I was sent by my boss to a house to pick up a Towncar for service. That was something that the dealership did for its wealthy customers. I get dropped off at a friggin privet compound with an air strip as I'm walking up to the door a plane lands. A butler shows me in and I'm like I'm just here to pick up the Towncar for service. He says ok just wait for MR bigwig so MR Bigwig flaming faggot comes in and shows me around I'm like I'm just here to pick up your car and he's like ok but you want to see my plane? OK we go out he shows me his plane and then asks me if I "EVER WANT TO LEARN HOW TO FLY I'M MMMORE than happy to show you how". So that was as close to taking flying lessons that I ever got. The more I think about it now my boss was trying to pimp me out because I was a cute 19 year old.

Or maybe Mr Bigwig was just very excited to show you his plane.

I could probably fly a plane without lessons, I played a lot of flight sims when I was a kid
Sure when everything is going fine. But when a million beeps are going on and a big yellow MSTR CAT! Comes up you're fucked, the longer you stay fucked the more your problems compound.
I like the one where it goes BWOOP BWOOP PULL UP! BWOOP BWOOP PULL UP! TERRAIN, TERRAIN. BWOOP BWOOP PULL UP!

Yes he was, the whole place was weird there was a big garage with about 10 cars in it and he wanted me to service them all. The help was creepy as hell the maid kept giving me weird looks I got out as soon as possible.

Sounds like the maid was the only one not getting the D.
