I started flying about a month ago. I'm taking courses @ my local college to get an associates degree in aviation while I fly as often as I can at the airport to build up my flight time and go through my lessons. I'm hoping to have my PPL sometime this fall which brings me to my question...

What do all of you fly? The people here who own planes can obviously fly their own, but I find it difficult to imagine that owning a plane is an option for everyone here.

The planes I fly now are owned by the college, and used only for students flying with a CFI or soloing. So once I get my PPL and wanted to take a friend or family member up for a ride, I'm wondering what my options are...
