Canadian Air Cadets?

I'm a pilot. I hold my Private, instrument, commercial and CFI for single engine. I also have a multiengine rating.

I have my private license for helicopters, it's been a while since I've flown though, hopefully I will get back to flying though now that I am done with college.

I been thinking about getting my license but too afraid to go up in a Cessna 152/172. Seems like you will get bounced around a lot in that little plane

if that scares you, try doing spins in one.

Just don't purposely fly through storm clouds while trying to barrell roll the 172 (stupid but funny when an F-16 fighter pilot trys it)
You can beat a 172 to hell... I trust it.
Respect the plane and it will not fail you.

I used to take lessons many moons ago. I have about 22 hours in a C152 and a few hours in my instructors Super Decathlon (now THAT was some fun flying!!) Also, I got to fly the AWACS for a few orbits while on deployment in Turkey just after the first Gulf War.

I'd LOVE to finish my PP cert one of these days when my kids are a little older.

I am looking into starting taking lessons, i fly so much it seems like a logical thing to do as a hobby

You can chat with Revved a bit about flying. PM me if you want to chat about learning to fly in DFW area.

I'm working on my PPL right now in Cincinnati Ohio! I've got about 15 or so hours , lol but its fun...and expensive.
