Low time pilot + Life Insurance?

Hello,

I am a 125 hour private pilot (no instrument rating).  I am looking at some fairly
large term-life insurance policies and found that to be covered while flying, the
cost  for a pilot of my qualifications is almost prohibitive.  Does anyone know of
policies that cover you only while flying?  I was hoping to just buy a suplemental
policy, if possible.  Thank you.

    Curiously enough I recently bought a large new whole-life policy from
    Safeco Insurance Co. which does NOT exclude my flying activities.
    Until I get 100 hours (currently at 48 – about to get my ticket ( I
    hope)) there is a sizeable additional fee I have to pay but after that
    it disappears and goes back to the regular fee schedule for everyday
    ground-pounders.

    I do not work for Safeco or anything like that – my point is that if
    you look around you might be able to find a good deal.  I think
    Provident has a similar policy as well.
