I took lessons when I was in my twenties. I was almost to the point of my solo flight but I ran out of money and had to quit. Trying to concentrate on everything at hand was almost a sensory overload. I've wondered about the fun part myself.

I think most of us probably felt that sensory overload that you refer to. I remember those first 10 to 15 hours and I felt the same way. Once you get back on the ground you are tired, sweaty, and feel like you just worked as opposed to having a wonderful time. If you could have kept at it, I think you would have found that a lot of those things your were super concentrated on start to become automatic, thus allowing you to enjoy the experience of flying more.

I think it happens at a point when you stop worrying about dieing flying and are experienced enough that you feel comfortable enough and enjoy flying. You get over that really worried stage.

That is also the point where you are more likely to get yourself killed.
