Yeah, I'm going to do what I can to get a license this upcoming year. Someone earlier said I should take the chance while I have it, and that's been resonating with me. I'm going to fly another time just to make sure it's something I really want to do, but to me it just makes so much sense as someone who wants to be designing airplane (components) in the near future. Would you buy a plane designed by someone who didn't fly?
My good friend Bill W. knows I can justify just about anything
The flying is the easiest, most enjoyable part of flight training. The ground school is where the work is at. Radio, navigation, "management" of the airport control systems, etc. But, it's worth it. If you decide that is what you want to do, commit to it and go for it.
