How to fly by McMissy

"Just get on with it."

How I did it: I looked up local flight schools, booked an introductory lesson, then went. The flight instructor was gracious and let me peruse around a little longer. We flew over Clearwater Beach on a clear day- clear blue water, slightly bluer sky, white beach.. As we were approaching the airport again, it began to get dusky which is fabulous. 

Haven't actually gotten around to flying like a bird. Maybe someone can help with that.

Lessons & tips: It was only $49 dollars at a flight school. 4 hours. I even did some time after that. Totaled about 12 hours. 

Resources: Internet.

How I did it: I couldn't wait to take the plane. First time I took the plane was to go to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, 2 weeks ago (Jan. 22, 2009). Great vacation. I read a lot of stuff on the Internet prior to leave for my vacation. I've made sure to look at all the rules, regulations and restrictions of my airline. Read how I did it…

    GOD !!! I took the plane! And I forgot to state this goal as ACHIEVED ! MAN!!!

    I took the plan from Abitibi to Montréal, then from Montréal to Quebec.. I saved about 12 hours of car or 16 hours of bus.. And it was less expensive!

    I flew! :)

    Being a daughter of a pilot I’ve grown up with the deepest respect for this occupation and great love for the sky and all kinds of airplanes. The air show that takes place every August in Zhukovskiy, Moscow, MAKS, is next to New Year for me.

    So You Want To Fly? 5 months ago

    What makes an airplane fly? Answer: $$
    Learning to fly can be one of the most challenging and rewarding things things you will ever do. But, getting a pilot’s license doesn’t come without a price – both in hard work and hard earned cash. As you progress, Mountain Flying is one of the most rewarding flight skills.
