| Kermit Have you decided to try using foil now ??? I dont know how it works in your country but here most larger airports have flight schools. I went to one here and took a demonstration ride for like half price of a regular schooling flight, was 30 bucks for an hour flight. It was just on a whim that I did that. I now call them "GOTCHA FLIGHTS" because once the instructer gave me the controls I was hooked. If you can do that in your country Kermit give it a shot, but I caution you, once you are hooked its both worse and much more rewarding than any illicet drug this world has to offer. I will look and see if I still have some pictures Kermit and will be happy to share them with you. I flew alone most of the time so I didnt have that many pictures to begin with. I did lose my medical, so cant fly anymore, 2 heart attacks and meds ended my flying days. |

Demo flights are great for someone who just wants hold the stick for a while, and quite affordable. Oh, and yes, you will be hooked!!!
Randy, have you looked into the "light sport" catagory, no medical required, just a drivers lisence!!! (or have you "grounded" yourself, as well?) I'd ship you some backstraps, but I think they'll go bad. Come on over, I'll grill ya up some
!!!
Here's a few pics Kermit.
This one's from a cessna 152, headed toward my house, just across the lake from that big white eye sore, just above the nose.
this one's just after passing my commercial/multi-engine/instrument check ride(final exam).
this is my favorite, my first flight in a twin, without my instructor.
Go find yourself a local airport, and take a discovery flight. You will NOT be disappointed!!!
