So, I'm not sure how she found me - we're probably in some of the same pilot groups on Facebook, but last week a lady added me as a friend on Facebook. Through her subsequent status updates, I found out that she is just getting started with learning to fly, and she shows a lot of excitement and passion for it. I had a great phone conversation with her yesterday about what it takes to become a pilot, and her different options. One of the things that I told her about was this forum, so she did sign up here. At this point, I'd like to introduce everyone to and welcome Chrisy to POA!
I'll let her tell her whole story, but her late father was a fighter pilot in the Navy and became a pilot for American Airlines. She recently lost him, and as a tribute to him she decided to learn to fly herself, and she's loving it! She has not decided on a flight school yet, but she's in the Dallas area and has been doing some flying at American Flyers at ADS (where IMO she is getting ripped off). Given the type of flying she'll be doing (pleasure flights with family/friends), I recommended she go to US Aviation at Denton and get her SP license, which she can upgrade to a PPL in the future if she'd like. Does anyone from the DFW area have any input/suggestions on flight schools or independent CFI's in the area?
