    I will get my pilot’s license and own an airplane.

    Made it the solo flight.
    Need to get written work done, and cross-country next.

    Watching the airport 1 month ago

    The main reason I haven’t completed this goal is financial. We ended up having to put quite a bit of finances into other things including our business and as a result I wasn’t able to complete my license yet. Everytime I drive by the airport I am reminded of what I am missing.

    Since we are working hard at getting our finances back into order, I am hoping that this year I will be able to complete my exam and flight test…

    If only I could win the lottery 4 months ago

    After doing some research, this goal is going to be quite expensive. I am not going to let that stop me, but it will most surely delay me a bit. I wanted to be a military pilot when I was a little kid. I don’t have great eyesight though, so it never happened. This would be the next best thing.

    Ordered my transciever last night! 4 months ago

    Bills got in the way, but I finally did it! I work just a few exits from the airport, so it’ll be cool to be able to “hear” them. Also, my home is in the flight path of several major airports, less than a mile from a MOA, and I spend a lot of time hanging out around airports in general – it’s so much fun to listen in on the planes. Also, it’s interesting to take your airport diagram and see if you can tell where the planes are.

    Well, I haven’t been in the air for over a year, but I am still studying and buying some of the stuff that I need as I go along. I’m really trying to get all the book work stuff down pat in my head so when I DO get back in the air (and I WILL), I’ll be all the more prepared and a better pilot.

    It’s a bummer not being in the air, but the journey is still exciting, and I am used to long term goals. I know I can do this!

    For me, this is really about being more independent. I’m not all that crazy about flying, but rather the freedom that comes with it. I love to travel, and being able to fly myself would make it a lot easier to get around.

    As of now, the idea of flying makes me queazy – but like with anything I think the fear in the beginning is natural.

    I'm getting a hand held tranceiver! 6 months ago

    I got some money for Christmas and my BDay and a bit I saved, and I’m going to get an ICOM! Now I’ll be able to listen to the planes flying around at home. I’m so excited. I’m sure I could have done things like buy a new tv or power tool or a years supply of chicken food or something, but I’m going to add another thing to my flying kit! Yippppeeee!
