It made me

 "Too good not to do again"
How I did it: Completed courtesy of the Air Training Corps for nothing. Becoming a member was the best choice i ever made... I was able to fly before i could drive. |

Hudzo it's going to be an awesome day
It made me
How I did it: A friend of mine in college had a professor who flew regularly and after we finished finals took us up in a twin-engine Piper. The weather was absolutely perfect and he had a friend who worked the flight tower that gave us a helicopter route to take. He performed the takeoff and landing but let me work the yoke for a good while. Great fun and it felt so free. Now I'm convinced I need to get a pilots license. Read how I did it…

How I did it: I was driving by our local airport and I saw a sign that said learn to fly free, today only. So When opportunity knocks... GO FOR IT (this had also been one of the things on my bucket list) Read how I did it…

How I did it: I randomly came across an ad for a flying school in my city... and it hit me. I want to fly a plane! It only took me a month, maybe less, to work up the courage. I called, booked my familiarization flight... and within a week I was flying a plane. I wasn't alone, but I flew it. I drove/directed it down the runway and flew it in the air ^.^! I fell in love instantly. Now I'm going to take another flying lesson and decide whether or not I w… Read how I did it…

Technically I wasn’t flying, my cousin was, but it was terrifying! You’re a mile above the ground in something the size of a hatch-back shaking up and down ever now and then, then banking at 60 degrees and not knowing where the horizon is. It wasn’t my idea of fun but it did have some great views.

...I’m going to go with this – there local, I like the look of them and they provide a nice honest breakdown of costs!
To get my full Private Pilot’s Licence would cost me in total around £6500. Not sure I really feel the need to do this but if I had the money I’d jump at it in a shot!
For an ‘Introduction to Flying’ course we’re talking around £700. More of a possibility but not right now.
What I probably could manage sometime soon is a trial flying lesson for £55! I definitely think I’ll try this out to see if I want to spend £700 or not!

Flying a plane

It would be fun to fly a glider or a ultralight someday. This is probably one of the easier goals to achieve, so not much planning needed.
