I have been flying once just go to a local flight school and once they get you in the air you can take over the plane it's pretty cool and everybody should try it at least once...
the thing that scares me is there is a guy somewhere that graduated at the bottom of his flight school flying a plane
i hope its not mine
Flying itself isn't the hard part. What really frazzled me was all the meterology you have to learn and understand. That shit with figuring wind, storm patterns and shear etc was really complex.

Actually.. thats the easy part..
The hard part is the upkeep of the aircraft once you have bought it
I took a few helicopter lessons when I was younger. I know enough that I could fly one if I had to, depending on what type of chopper it was. I quit after my instructor got killed and did not look back. The helicopter was a robinson R22
SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.
Its on my short list of things to do, everyone tells me not to take up flying until you have about $5K saved up for all the simulator and aircraft rentals.
You're going to see a real revolution in the next few years as the prices for older corporate jets drop with new planes like the Eclipse 500 are produced in any great numbers.
I'm hoping the market for fast propeller planes like the Mooney drop as their owners want jets over props.
