"I've been a pilot for many years. I still fly. There are only two things in life that make it worth living and that is airplanes and women. To all the young men out there, get your pilots liscense. You will not regret it."

My ATF got her pilot license. We were going to learn to fly at the same time, but I backed out. To costly. Not getting the license, but then I'd want a plane. One good thing would have been that there is a semi prive field less than 2 miles from me.

It's a great achievement. However it isn't cheap, especially these days. Flying the required time just to stay current is the minimum. That'll cost you probably close to $1000 per month if you just rent. Joining a club will slightly lower it. Most married people will find the money is better spendt elsewhere. Most married guys aren't spending the cash on it, and SC too for that matter.

It's awesome if you can swing it.

You are a licensed pilot, but you still used drugs?

I got 20 hours in and flew solo flights but got grounded for a couple of years due to a medication I was prescribed. I never went back to the FAA for clearance to start back at it. Maybe I will finish it but who knows. It's fun but expensive.

The saying goes "What makes airplanes fly?"

"Money!"

25,

I did pilot a private plane once. I was flying with a buddy up in Ohio. He let me take the controls for a bit. It was pretty freaky to me, but then I knew if I really screwed up, he had a few thousand feet to correct us before we would be planted! :)
