get my pilot's license

I’m thinking about starting the process towards getting my pilot’s license. Though I live in the Pacific Northwest so its a little too cold, wet, and rainy for my tastes, let alone fly an airplane in. So I think I’ll wait until Spring to start. But its in my horizon!

On my way from chicago to san diego, I had a conversation with a pilot. He said that you could obtain your Pilot’s license in Hawaii (i’ll be in oahu soon) for fairly cheap… and i love clouds

i have always enjoyed flying and would love to get my license

I signed up for some classes at my local college, and I was surprised to find an aviation class, so of course I signed up for it! Its an introductory class, but I’m excited about it.

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.

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…

I have to do this before I’m too old.
It’s freedom.

1st lesson this sunday. hoping to get this done by the summer.

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.
