Hello all.
Just wanted to share that I'm taking a big plunge here and pursuing my private pilot's license. I have a block of time off so I'm headed down to FL to train full time for a few weeks. The place I'm going seems like a really professional outfit with the latest planes from Cessna, integrated curriculum etc.
This is a big leap for a conservative guy like me...spending lots of money, potentially getting killed etc. Maybe it's my mid-life crisis early (I'm 36) I've always wanted to fly - finally have both the time and money. I'm hoping to fly for my own enjoyment and perhaps roll it into a second career as a flight instructor down the line (I realize that's a huge investment, we'll see). My wife is supporting me 100% even though I can tell she's not big on aviation itself.
Any of you guys take a leap like this (aviation or otherwise)? How did it work out?
