Skyhigh, you’re one of the names that seems to stand out to me on this board. And I told myself the same thing. I have essentially come to this reliaztion myself, but I am doing extensive reading and thinking it over before I make a decision. I want to be comepltely informed about it.

You talk about being mature for your age, and from your posts, it seems to be so. I think the pilot group as a whole is just a little bit more mature, motivated, and courteous as compared to the "average joe." (to name a few things). You will probably fit right in.
I do highly recommend people at least consider flying as a hobby versus thinking; "oh my god! I must do this for a living!". I fell into that trap!

It seems you are also considering that option, so good on you! I personally still enjoy the heck out of flying a Cessna 150, and owning or partnering on one is relativy cheap.
Flying is an addicton...there are many ways to feed the habit

Thanks for the compliment. I mean, I’m not a “young kid” per se. By that I mean…I’m not 19. (I’m 26 for the record.) Nor am I “too old to consider this as an option.” I know a lot of people my age who are still just all about partying and getting drunk…and that’s just not my thing. I want to prepare for a future, so I’m trying to have a head on straight about it. (As I said earlier…I had a lot of stuff happen early in life that made me grow up really early.) And I do really like the diea of flying as a hobby…just wondering if it’s one I’d be able to keep up with.
You said “you fell into that trap.” I presume you work in the aviation field? In what capacity, if you don’t mind my asking? And do you regret it? Also, feel free to send me a PM if you’d rather explain that stuff in private.
