[Big Giant Head]

I took my first flight toward my Private Pilot ticket on Sept. 10th 2001. Grounded for two weeks after.

Just damn!

But I continued on and am still flying. But I haven't flown the big airplanes since '95. I don' fear it at all, just can't afford it. Plus I kinda like my own hands on the yoke.

I was thinking of taking some basic steps towards a private pilot's license too. But the cost really is sky high, and the continuing costs to stay active and safe really are prohibitive. As a student, I've pretty much decided that I'll do as much as I can, and then hang it up until I get to a point in my life where I have both the time and the money.
