I got my private pilot licence at last.

@tallpowerhouseblonde Thats my plan.

@jackjones68 will you buy a holiday home there?

@tallpowerhouseblonde maybe rent first. And take it from there. No ties if it doesn't work out.

@Barefooter25 Thank you.Yes I always fly the plane with my feet bare.It feels great.

@DViper97 Thank you.It's a long overdue goal.

@tallpowerhouseblonde well at least you saw it through.

@DViper97 I did finally yes.Something I wanted to do since childhood.

@Quimliqer Thank you.

@TexChik Yes the G 1000 NXI integrated flight deck.

@tallpowerhouseblonde are you going to buy a plane ?

@TexChik I am looking into that.I have to decide which plane.I can get hanger space where I learned.

@tallpowerhouseblonde Yes I was given a scholarship by the Air Force to get my license. Sadly they were picking the best of the best of the best and my left eye was just a bit too weak for advanced training in what I had hoped was fighter jets. Oh well what woulda been coulda been. lol. I enjoyed my old tripoop but the instruments were so disfunctional all my flying was VFR. About the only three that worked was the airspeed indicator the altimeter and the turn and bank coorindator. Even the fuel guages didn't work so either I filled the tanks or dipped them to find out if I had enough gas. lol

@hippyjoe1955 That is flying seat of the pants.It would scare me.Air Force selection is understandably very strict especially for fighter jets.

@tallpowerhouseblonde Yes and when I was eligible the airforce was downsizing very drastically. They were very very picky. Some of the guys who were fighter pilots before me were laughing saying they wouldn't have made the cut either. Flying is a lot of fun though and a great way to travel longer distances. Too short a distance and you might as well drive. I used to take Mom and Dad to visit my uncle who live 3 hours away by car. I could get them there in an hour. Dad loved it but often got lost and that would create a panic. lol

@helenoftroy2000 It's been an ambition for a really long time.

@jackson55 The 310 is twin engine so I can't pilot it.I do like the debonair or bonanza but they are nearly all 4 seats and the newer models are crazy expensive.

@tallpowerhouseblonde Stick with the Debonair if you can. Bonanzas are showing their age. An airplane that will seat 6 is going to be spendy too.

@jackson55 It will be faster yes.Already fitted with Garmin would be great too.
