PRICELESS!!!

thats awsome man I'v always wanted to get my private pilots license. What kinda bird is that?

i know theres a local airfield around here that does the whole program for like 6500. that includes however many hours of ground school, the 40 or whatever instructor hours, fuel and plane rental. Id do it if I had the money. congrats man!

it's a Cessna 152, pretty basic trainer. really fun to land tho...

God damn!!!! You crazy bastard!!!! I could'nt trust my self in a plane. Great job man, just make sure to keep it safe!

ya it's a trip, but practice and training pay off...
