Yessir, taking aviation classes as well as going to a new school so it's gonna be pretty busy around here. Which kind of sucks, but then again...I'm gonna be flying! I can't believe they're gonna trust me at the controls of a damn plane. lol. Watch out!

just wait until they take you up in the air, flip the plane upside down and open one of the doors.

good luck!

In all honesty, i really really want to do this. I've wanted to learn for a long time, but it's way too espensive. For now, i stick with Flight Simulator 2004 :)



How much do you expect it will cost you before you get your private pilot liscense?

We're like two peas in a pod, jim. We should share an account and post as one entity

I used to be able to fly in my dreams, but I can't anymore. :(

I shouldn't have stopped taking drugs.

I just recently started. I'm taking the courses through a local airport that's offering them. I go up for the first time on the 10th of next month. Overall, I heard it's gonna cost about $6K to get the full liscnse. I'm far from that, but it's gonna come quickly. I wanted some basic knowledge of flight. Seriously considering becoming a jet fighter pilot for the military someday.

One of my old neighbors had a pilot license and his own plane. He would always fly over the neighborhood at the most peculiar hours. Please don't be that guy.

I've been obsessed with planes ever since I was a small boy. I envy you. Take full advantage of it.

Yeah man I hear you there. I've always been into planes. I'm taking full advantage, so maybe something might come of this. Even if I don't wind up a fighter pilot down the road, still being a civi pilot...that would be awesome. Thanks man.

One of my friends at school does it. That may be a low estimate, especially with gas prices the way they are.
