I think she was being sarcastic. And I'm not sure people that people who can't afford a Cirrus are failures. ;-)

I didn't say I heard about a ban. Just that morons will gather unwanted attention for doing stupid things. I don't know the solution. I'm the worst person to ask, as I'm generally against the government bugging people. My guess is it will start with some sort of licensing or required training.

This is a funny thread to me. About wives locking on to features they like, and all of the sudden your hobby gets much more expensive. I'm not yet a pilot, but I'm a life long boater. When my wife discovered that cabin cruisers have bathrooms, my boating hobby got much more expensive.

No one is going to be happy until there needs to be a thick rule book for every hobby. There's nothing inherently wrong with drones. But put them in the hands of complete morons, get them on the news, and all of the sudden they're a target for every group of "concerned citizens" who needs to...

In ye olde days of yore, it was a mystery how to put up a website, or edit it, or get people to visit it. But, now in 2015, its never been easier. A group can do a facebook page for free, and crowd source the content. You can upload videos to youtube, and if they're good, you can even generate...

If they're not in business, I would assume they wouldn't still have a website. That's sort of my point. I realize some places do keep up to date with their website, but it seems like a lot don't.

Why does it feel like the world of general aviation is behind the times online. Maybe it's just in my area. But as I search for schools, instructors, or clubs, all I find are websites with outdated information, or little to no information. Broken links. Clubs list the email address of...

Thanks for all the responses! I'm jealous of those of you that have been involved since childhood, but glad to see I'm not the only "late bloomer".

Howdy gang, first post. I've been reading the forums for a while, and I've learned a lot. I've been wanting to get my PPL for a long time now, and I'm just now getting to a point in my life where I'm able to make the commitment financially and time wise. I'm freshly 40 years old, and the...
