Re: Any pilots in here?

What airplane did you like best. I learned in a Cherokee 140 back in 1967. I have always preferred a low wing over a high wing. Where are you taking lessons?

Re: Any pilots in here?

Flying is expensive. I am a retired Delta Captain but I am also a CFII, single and multi engine. Have the available reserves (funds) to get through your first solo. If you take a lesson today then again in 10 days then again in a week, you will forget/lose some skills you gained in the past lessons. Go out there 7/8 days in a row or as close together as possible and get past that solo. It will be cheaper in the long run if you do it that way. Try to find an experienced Instructor. New guys might be great but it takes time to learn how to teach and what new students respond to. Don't use an Instructor that tries to impress you with their skills. Flying is a serious endeavor and requires discipline and dedication to continued learning. The learning process does not end with the Private License. The expense does not end there either.
