I became a Private Pilot!

You only live once, Jennifer! Almost anyone can afford Ground School, and there's no deadline to get your license. Even one hour a month in the air with an instructor is still an hour logged at the controls of your dream! Don't you owe it to yourself? Take a leap of faith, why don't you?


Carl, that was inspirational for me. To hear an experienced member of the club say that it doesn't matter if it takes years, it CAN be done....and that last bit, "Take a leap of faith, why don't you?"....now that is like putting a light to the tinder box.

Watch this space............

I think it would not matter what one flew -- one would want to be a member of the Cessna 150-152 Club anyway. Its people are the absolute best. Thank you to all of you!
