Woohoo!
 

Hey guys, after paying off the loan for my bike I can finally start my PPL training (private pilots license). I can't wait! Been waiting years and doing an hour or two here and there but now I'm going for the full monty :D. I'll be adding stuff like instrument rating on there too which will be handy for if/when I decide to try for a job in one of the smaller local airline companies :D. Wish me luck!

Vell, good luck (I said good luck, that means I get 95% off on all flights, right?)

Enjoy your training and have a good time in the air.:up:
I wish I had the money/time for this. Maybe I'll learn how to fly glider someday (that's cheaper and not so noisy:D).

Good luck! I have been saving up for my PPL, as well. I used to want to pursue it as a career, but not sure anymore. The industry has taken a nose dive with no end in sight.

PD

Good luck with this. It is great that you are able to realize one of your dreams.

I got my license in 1985 and had a ball with it.

Unfortunately I am living in a very high traffic area where private flying aint too much fun :( so I have not flown in a while :cry:

I hope you live in an area where you can have fun with this.

Just remember, any landing that does not involve foaming the airframe is a great landing :up:

Go for it Steel Tomb :rock: Make us proud :up:

I know you'll do good.:yep: :)

Important Tip: Don't pick an instructor who always wears a parachute. :p :rotfl:

Good Luck Buddy

Make sure on the day you go on your first solo you wear your best shirt for the pictures.

Let us know how it turns out Steel Tomb ...

Can I have your user name if we don't hear from you again?

Just kidding ...

Good luck!

I started in on that a long time ago. Finished ground school, etc. Would like to finish the licence however.

My congrats :up:
good luck with it:up:

Good luck up there!:up:

Just remember that push means down and pull means up!:rotfl::rotfl:

Good luck!

I envy you soo much!!!

How much is 100 LL running you these days? I'd be curious to know before I pick that up again.

I think it depends where you go but I think the average is about £1.45 a litre. Expensive, but its still bloody good fun :).

Use airnav.com and it'll tell you prices at your local airport, providing its not some small dirt runway. :)
