Well people - I'm finally doing it - I'm going for my pilots license. I joined a flying club, picked an instructor, and started buying up gear. I also joined what seems to be the quintessential pilots organization: AOPA.
I can already tell that my whopping $25 dollar dues are going to pay off - on Nov 19th, 2008 aka 5 days from now they are launching the AOPA Internet Flight Planner. I spent about 15 minutes with it this morning, and even as someone who has literally 0 hours PIC, I can tell this thing is going to be VERY helpful. I've flown right seat on a number of flights with my buddy Rod so I am no stranger to the flight planning process and by the looks of it, this will really make it easier.
I will of course keep everyone posted through the good-ol-notes blog on how things are going. My first lesson is next Wednesday - There will be photos.
