Hey Josh, the first thing I would do is take an inro flight a local flight school. You will spend about 30 minutes in the air and get a chance to fly. Some instuctors may even let you attempt the takeoff. This is a good first step in seeing if aviaiton is really for you. I am not trying to say you may not make an excellent pilot. I am just saying from an instuctors stand point I have seen many people who were very intersted in flying that after the intro flight never flew again. I am not saying this will be your case but it will either motivate you to pursue aviation or it might make you rethink it as a career choice. Even if the first flight doesn't go well, and my no means does it have to, you should attempt a few more lessons and see how comfortable you feel. An intro flight may only run you about 50 dollars or so. After that it does get a little more expensive. Anyhow, I hope this helps. If you want. pm me when you are able on this system or send me your email and I can help further.

Good Luck,
Jason
