I hold Commercial tickets for Airplaine, Single-Engine, Land and Rotorcraft (helicopter/recip & turbine), an Instrument ticket, Certified Flight Instructor for Airplane and Helicopter and a Ground Instructor ticket.
Have never owned my own aircraft, other than being one of the originating members of the US Hang Gliding Assn.
Simply go to two or three local airports and talk to some of the schools. Meet an instructor you feel comfortable with and who shows interest in you, not just your $$$. My fixed wing and rotor wing CFIs were two of the greatest friends I ever ended up with.
As for turning it into a business, never did. Just enjoyed it too much.
Have 2600 hours TT PLUS, from working at Johnson Space Center in the early 80s, have two logged/signed entrys for two Space Shuttle re-entrys (Shuttle Simulator on-site). They're right. It does fly like a BRICK! Made one hellova hole in Dryden. LOL
If you have the bucks and the spirit to learn to fly, by all means, go for it. It's an adventure you'll never forget. Especially, your first "solo."
