Thread: Took my first passenger for a ride....

Just got my pilots license last month at the age of 17 so i was pretty excited. Since the weather in michigan has sucked, when i was down in florida i decided to rent a 172 and take my grandpa for a ride. Here is the video, enjoy!

WOW. very cool. Brave grandpa haha!

BPRES: well, he is a pilot too lol

That was cool. How long did it take to get your license?

Very nice! Congrats dude.

Congratulations on getting the Private certificate. And taking your first passenger with you is a very exciting event. IIRC, my first passenger was my best friend. A brave soal to be sure. It must be told that my path to getting my Private was very different than most everyone else.

I will never forget what my examiner told me right after telling me I had passed the practical exam. "How you will really learn how to fly, every time you get in an airplane- learn well and remember what you learn."

I started in June 2010 and got it all done by November 2010.

Congrats on getting your ticket! I got mine at 17 as well. Then college and life caught up and I didn't get back in the seat for ten years. The best advice I can give you is to stay current no matter what if at all possible. When I started back, it was pretty much like starting completely over. Well worth it though.

Very Cool!!!
