How I did it: There's a high school up north in Galena, Alaska called G.I.L.A.  They teach high schoolers (Sophmore and up) how to fly a plane.  I flew the same plane twice, a few months apart, after learning how to control it.

Lessons & tips: You really have to want to fly a plane to get it done.  Fortunately, the method I used was free, but most of the time (as anyone who's interested probably knows) it's quite expensive.  If you dedicate the time to the Aviation book, and had the money for an instructer, you could be up in the air in a month too.
