Irish Armada
Thought I'd introduce myself to everybody as I'm new. My name's Rob and I'm a new student pilot -- logged a whopping 3 hours already. But I've been wanting to learn to fly my entire life and since I'm turning 30 soon (and because I have some additional income to finally make it possible), I recently decided to go for it and try to earn my PPL. And sweet merciful crap, this is the by far the best thing I've ever done in my life. Had my 3rd lesson today on the most ridiculously clear day in recent memory, and from the air even central California looked like a paradise. I always knew flying would be cool, but I never thought it would be THIS cool and feel so damn good to be behind the controls. I can already hear my current and future bank accounts wimpering for mercy right now, but they're out of luck: I am totally and completely hooked.
