Well after a long wait, I think it is time. I recently went to my local airport to inquire about lessons. Now that I have given my wife two healthy children she says it's OK! LOL!!
Spoke to the instructor and he told me to come back and for $50, he will take me up in a Cessna and let me take the controls!
He gave me a few documents and a web site to visit. I did and now I am receiving mail everyday from AOPA, "The Aircraft Owners & Pilots Association", Cessna & The King School of Flying. I even received a free CD Rom on the basics of flying. All this stuff is really getting me excited to finally do this.
Just thought I would let you guys know and I will keep you informed on what is happening!

Good luck Dave. Once you take that trial flight there will be no turning back. I can almost guarantee it. Keep us informed of your progress.

Go for it Dave. You won't regret it. I sure havn't

[quote]Wow!

Do for it??  What in hell does Do for it mean??

Maybe you were trying to say 2 things at once Will. "Do It" and "Go for It"  thus you get , "Do For It"!  :D

Dave

Great stuff Dave, keep us posted on your adventures (and don't forget your camera )

Hagar is tellin the truth, no turning back!!!
That is great to hear!
A new child, computer and flying lessons all in less than a month! WOW!!!!
The AOPA is great and the magazine you'll be getting is wonderful! You will learn more from it than any other magazine and when you become a member be sure to check out the web site!! Anything and everything about aviation!!
My favorite site besides here. I recommend everyone interested in aviation to join the AOPA even if they never intend on real life flying so much to learn there!

I agree with Fret. Being an AOPA member has been a valuable resource, and when my membership expires in a couple months, i'm gonna renew it

I would highly recommend it to all pilots

Thanks for the support.  :o

A new child, computer and flying lessons all in less than a month! WOW!!!!

I hear ya. I think I am having a mid life crisis!!
The thing of it is, many years of hard work and things are starting to pay off!

Hi Dave...Good Luck...Have Fun...Never Get Discouraged
Keep in mind the three most useless things to a Pilot are:
1...The air above you.
2...The runway behind you.
3...The fuel in the bouser (fuel truck).

Cheers...Happy Landings....Doug

That's great Dave! Keep us updated on how things are going  ;D

Awesome Dave!  I took my intro flight last year and unfortunately have just had too much going on to continue as of late, but I plan on going again ASAP.

Also a quick FYI for you or anyone else interested.  There's a company called "Pilot Finance" that will finance your flight instruction.

sounds like a beautiful plan! Things are definately looking good...;-)

Just remember this one thing Dave......flight consists of three necessities........

• Airspeed
• Altitude
• Attitude

If you run out of one, make sure that the remaining two, can allow you to make up for the missing one.............
