I'm back!

I haven't posted in a while (over 5 years 😬) because it occurred to me that no one really wants to read a blog about flight training from someone who isn't actually flight training.

Well, I'm still not technically actually flight training yet, but I'm finally getting really serious about it. I'm in the process of talking to CFIs and flight schools, I finished ground school, I have my costs all budgeted out, most of it saved up, and a plan for how the rest will be saved up. I'm actually ready to start training now, unfortunately my flight school isn't ready for me yet...

Its probably still going to be a few months before my actual flight, but I'm going to try to crank out as many blog posts as I can between now and then, because once I actually start flying, things are going to get really busy and I won't have as much time to write.

Anyway, just wanted to drop a quick post just to let you (my imaginary readers) know that I'm getting started back up.

Happy flying!

The total cost of getting a pilot's license is dependent on the individual, the location, the year, the instructor, what sort of license you're getting, and many many other factors. In this post, I am just going to explain the basic things you will likely be paying for. I will throw in some numbers, but that's just to give you a ballpark estimate of the price. The actual price you will pay will be different depending on where you live, and of course theres no way of telling what the prices will be several years from now. For the sake of this post, we'll just be talking about the Private Pilots License (PPL). There are other licenses that we...

My Pumpkin

This doesn't necessarily fit into the scope of this blog. But I carved a pumpkin for halloween this year and I'm very proud of it so I wanted to share it with my readers. Here it is, and F-35B Lightning II And in case you're curious, this is what it looks like in the light. Doesn't look as good this way, but you can get a little bit of a better feel for how I did it.
