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.

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.The ships hung in the sky in much the same way that bricks don't.

PPL with 80+ hours, working towards Instrument and CPL. Would love to haul freight, as they say crates don't complain.  |
