Idioms / Maxims / Sayings
A pilot talks about what flying means to him. I could say something like "Flying is not just the act of flying" but I think there might be a better option... Any ideas?
Thanks!!
Volar no implica sólo **el hecho de volar**, yo creo que es una forma de vida.

I am not even a Spanish translator, so feel free to ignore.

There's more to flying than meets the eye...
...it's my way of life

(flying is not just about) being airborne
...it's a way of life.
Yet another possibility. "Being airborne" is a more matter-of-fact, mundane way of thinking about "flying", which fires the imagination and carries a sort of mystique.
