My FIL was a commercial airline pilot for 30 years . I've thought about it on and off over the years as I've always been a bit interested in it . But my luck with mechanical things combined with mother earths gravitational pull always made me think otherwise in the end lol . Have fun tomorrow , Sonny .

f7ben Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Also I should add Ron ......all you have to do is call up the local airport....talk to a CFI and schedule a time to go fly. Its a cheap date and you could cross it off your bucket list. Who knows , maybe it will grab you right by the balls and you'll love it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know how I am and 2 weeks in I'd be trying to negotiate a deal on a slightly used L1011 and asking my brother if I can keep it in his yard .
