Another good point. Do you have a recommendation for a good mid-level headset?

After I get my license, I plan on saving and paying for flights as I want to take them. No immediate plan to make flying a career, just an enjoyable hobby. I was planning on doing the same for flight training, but it makes sense that dragging it out would cost more money, and I might forget some...

That actually sounds pretty reasonable. I am going to give this a try, and delay the training for now.

Thank you so much. All of this information has been very helpful, I will need to find a way to work my budget into allowing me to fly as much as possible.

Thank you, Sir. I did not know that you could start the flying lessons prior to finishing the ground school. I might just start working up some flying hours, and then knock out the written exam when I get close to completion. Thank you again, this was great information.

I am wanting to finish ground school, and pass the written exam, then slowly work on the flying hours. Or, do you take the written exam once you finish the required flying hours? I was looking at buying the Gleim "Private Pilot Kit", and studying for the exam that way, instead of going to a...

Does anyone know if your ground school certification expires? I am looking at starting/finishing the school in the middle of this year, however, I will be paying for the actual flying lessons little by little, so it will take a significant amount of time.

Will do! Thank you for the help.

Yea, Osan is a good place to end up spending a ton of money.

I have an appointment scheduled with a local AME next tuesday, im excited to get this ball rolling!

Awesome, small world. I was on the Test side all 5 years that I was there. Osan was probably my favorite assignment, though im sure it was quite different in 08-09 than in 73-74, lol.

That is very true, I forgot they had an age cutoff for civilian Controllers. I have been stationed at Osan South Korea, Kunsan South Korea, and Eglin.

Thank you. I will definitely check out Westwind. I was stationed at Eglin for 5 years, but I unfortunately never took advantage of their aero club. Ah, a fellow flightliner, I am a weapons guy by trade.

Very cool!

Thank you, Sir.

Very true, lol. Thank you for your service, Sir.

Thank you, Sir. I have worked F-16's, F-15's, F-35's, and A-10's. For now, I am just interested in flying for fun, however, I may decide to move into the commercial field one day in the future.

Thank you, Sir.

Haha, yea, theres a big love hate relationship with working on the flightline. You can definitely make more money as an ATC than as a mechanic though. Im currently at Luke AFB.

Coincidently enough, I am an aircraft mechanic, lol. Unfortunately the base I am at does not have an Aero Club, that would have been too convenient.
