Anyone out there a pilot? I fly out of Morey in Middleton. If you're in the area and want to hang out, that'd be cool. Wouldn't mind a new friend or two and seeing as how I'm pretty novice, I'd like to learn from more experienced pilots.

nope, but I started training, 23? or so years ago,
then had a death in family, reality set in and i had to pay bills, and never tried again, 1 of my few regrets.

If you could pass a medical, there's no reason you couldn't pick it back up! For what it's worth, if you just find a private CFI and rent a plane, you can go up for an hour for around $170 or so. I pay like $220 or $250 for two hour lessons. Just flying an old Cessna 172 from the 70's. I bet you regret it thought... there's nothing like getting up there and flying around.

so true, nothing like it. my dream was to build a kit & fly, never made my mind up over around 5 that caught my fancy. Whitman Buttercup was my favorite, lol,

my last doctor visit was for a physical to make sure I could pursue flight training, yes, roughly 23 years ago. today I suspect I have some medical issues that would prohibit me from flying, including headaches & dizziness, so unless sneak in on drivers license, or ultralight, my chances would be very slim, i still sometimes pull off the road to watch small single engine aircraft, so just a dream now. & since my ex walked out and cleaned me out, I live paycheck to paycheck. so no finances to try at present. but cant stop dreams.

to love or hate me, I would use a Corvair engine, not sure if you follow that, but I have followed for 25 years. there are plenty of Corvair engine haters, William Wynne has been produced them for 30? years

Under FAR 103, ultralight.
Requires no pilot certification.

Fun, but exceedingly dangerous
without training.


I may eventually get around to
sport pilot certification.

Headaches and dizziness. Check your house for mold and any water leaks. It can cause tons of health issues that even seem unrelated
