Plenty of folks out in 'bush' (rural) Alaska own planes - and fly- but never really get to where they could be considered adept at bush flying. There's nothing like flying schedules 'out there' to get one's self exposed to "conditions" that help one become more adept. Of course it helps if someone is paying you for hours rather than having to pay for them yourself too. Off airport stuff becomes a whole 'nuther deal, but it helps to understand what to expect from the air conditions.
