Howdy.
I'm a long-time aviation enthusiast. Over the years (too many of them) I've wanted to get a pilot's license, but all this stuff called "life" kept getting in the way.
I've decided that 2012 will be the year, and Sport Pilot is the ticket.
I figure when it comes to learning new skills at my age I don't need to be in something that goes Warp 6, so the airspeed restriction doesn't bother me. Plus, my kids are adults, so one passenger seat suits me and the spousal unit fine. Daylight VFR limitation? Darn - I can't fly in crappy weather. Yep - the SP ticket will suit me fine.
Now to browse the forums...
