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. _________________ (Insanity) = Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. |

I don't fly, but I plan on going for my private pilot's license as soon as I can afford it! _________________ My real name's bob, feel free to use it!

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. _________________ (Insanity) = Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. |

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