Well it's bad enough waiting for my birthday to come because I can't apply for it until I'm 19
C'mon February! come along!

I just turned 17 and got my ppl a month after my bday. been flying since i was 13. looking to buy a quarter share of a 152 for myself.

[StephenM]

Lucky for you!

I've flown the C150, C152, C172

[VC-10]

I have flown a Robin , G-ROBN. Great fun, I want a PPL but I doubt I will get one for a long time.

[daveh55]

howcome? it's the most rewarding thing i've done in my short life. working on my instrument now and commercial for my 18th bday.

[StephenM]

Commercial for your 18th B-Day? Have you not come to realise most dont have €60k (average out all costs from PPL-CPL including ME, IR etc) just lying around going to no good use?

[daveh55]

i guess you're right. i know i'm very luck to be able to do what i'm doing. benefits of being an only child:) also helps to have a very supportive family, with members who always wanted to be a pilot. I've got about 70 hours now, and am building up cross country hours for the instrument, which i need about 30 more of.

[HADC10]

I've flown domestically (as a passenger) tons. Mostly out of ANC or SEA, but also connect a lot in MSP. I'vee only taken to trips overseas, one ANC-FRA-FCO and the other ANC-SEA-LHR-CDG

I s'pose I should've expected lots of aeroplane flying people in a game like this.........

I fly to China next April!

[VC-10]

I doubt I will get a PPL for a while because my mum is paranoid about flying.
But we are flying to the Cayman Island this Christmas, and to Cuba.
