That's great; goes to show it's never too late. I've known and flown with some much older pilots, and they do just fine... flying keeps you young.

Peter Mack from Highland Flying School, where Ms Poole was instructed, described the new pilot as "gutsy".

I'm not sure that's such a good thing...

Good for her though.

I almost started crying to read that.  Being in my mid-thirties, with 2 children and 1 more on the way, and struggling behind a mountain of debt, I sometimes really get a desperate feeling about whether I will ever be able to get a PPL.

Fortunately, I have two things going for me: the support of my partner in pursuing my dreams and great stories likes.  Sigh.  It really does make me believe there is hope for me yet!

Thanks much for sharing,
Darrin

Good on her. Better than a lot of old foggies moaning about young people.  She is clearly training to be a dive-bomber and teach 'em a lesson
