If you had any inclination you wanted to learn to fly an airplane this is a GOLDEN time and a great "Excuse" to do it. Learning to fly an airplane is one of my most prized accomplishments to date. I still get goose bumps when I'm walking across the parking area just before getting into the airplane. It's been 18 years now and I love it more each time I go up into the air. It doesn't get much better than that.
I hear ya! I've got an ATP in helicopters and still working as an EMS pilot for my "full time" job.
Adrenaline rush every time I get a call from dispatch. It can be a long slog to get your ticket, but worth every cent.
