I'd put money that he has at least a small plane. I work in the motorcycle industry and there's a large overlap between pilots and motorcycle riders for some reason. Quite a few private pilots have pretty well set up flight sim rigs at home. Not to this extreme, but most have the basics for running MS Flight Simulator
The suicide drive is strong. Also, I blame top gun.
The two people I know with a pilot license also love motorcycles and top gun. Also cocaine.
TbF who doesn't love cocaine and top gun?
I got a single neighbor who has two different cars, a bunch of e-scooters, and builds different e-bikes constantly in his garage. Some people are just enthusiastic about modes of transportation I think...
Doing a PPL and I'm already considering getting at least a scooter. Easy and fast transport to the bumfuck nowhere area of the airport we fly from, I need to go regularly but never take any pax.
It just works.
Pilots and sports car owners too. Tbh I think pilots just like to go fast, on the air or on the ground
So they can fly the planes they want
