Touchdown! Greaser!
This thread is for all the older pilots that want to give up.
My best friend's wife (whom I will only refer to as "T") decided a little over a year ago to get her pilots license. Before that, she wouldn't even go up with him in their Diamond until the youngest kid graduated college.
Today, after 100 hours, and 3 different CFIs (which I think explains a lot of the 100 hours) T soloed! She is 60 years old. She was about to give up after the 2nd instructor wouldn't let her solo. My friend (her husband) insisted she try another instructor. BAM. He explained things in a way she could understand and now she is on her way.
