Thinking I Want To Be a Pilot

Since I was a small child, I have been fascinated with flying. I grew up on USAF bases all over the United States and have always had the affliction of being on the ground wishing I was in the air. When I turned 38, I made a decision that I was not going to be the guy in Shady Acres Retirement Center lamenting the fact that I never became a pilot.

Being a little obsessive-compulsive and anal retentive, I began to research the subject in earnest! I called several flight schools in the area and talked to a lot of CFIs. It took me over a month from the time I began calling around to the day that I walked into a flight school for a demo flight.
