I feel like Billy Madison here. Former USMC combat vet. Current cop, but going to school full time this fall for Aeronautical Science.

I'm 26 years old, so it was time to use my GI Bill. I've always wanted to be a pilot, so I said screw it...do it.

I've never flown a plane but I'm fascinated with aviation.

What should I expect for my first flight? What are some tips to be successful?
