    Blue Collar Pilots

    I work in I.T. but my big secret was to talk my wife into getting her PPL. Now she does not protest me spending money on flying, but she hogs the left seat on low wind days. Sent from my XT1575 using Tapatalk

    Planes with easy access

    In case anyone cared, I ended up getting my PPL and took my Dad for a flight in 172SP. We used a small folding step stool to get him up there. It is now going to be a part of my flight kit. The back seat was much easier to get into for him. He did wonder why I was poking so many holes in...

    Planes with easy access

    Hello all. First time poster. My father has pretty severe arthritis. He can barely bend any joints, but, he is looking forward to flying with me. He can sit in my Jeep Cherokee pretty easily but then I have to pick up his legs and tuck him in. What aircraft would have the access we need to...
