Just a curious question,
How many people here on FlyAway actually have a Pilots License?

I'm working on getting my PPL, and have completed about 12 of my 40hrs of flying time that i need.
The ships hung in the sky in much the same way that bricks don't.

I'm not old enough to get my pilots liscence yet, but once I go into college, i either want to fly for the military, or if i can't because of my site, i will fly commercially, which i wanted to do in the first place.

Well to you who want to fly but aren't old enough yet, there is something called Discovery Flight that i did before i started my training.
It's just something where you just go fly with a pilot for about half an hour and it's only about 80$ to do it, but yeah they go over pre starts checks and everything.
Just go to the front desk at your local airport and ask the person there and they usually have a pilot on hand to take you up.
