Anyway I am not starting my PPL until April due to my crazy work schedule but I am interested in meeting pilots in the DFW area.
I have a true passion for aviation but unfortantly i dont know anyone who is a pilot personally. I have drove around to some of the local airports asking if they needed any help but so far no luck. Basically my goal is to meet a great group of guys/gals in the DFW who are pilots and I could submerge myself in that envirment and soak up as much info as i can.
Thanks.
Visit some of the "down home" airports in the area. Grand Prairie is good, Midway-Waxahachie is a good one a little further away. Stay away from the biz-jet airports if you want some good hangar talk. I always loved flying to Corsicana and hanging out there when I was getting my private...great folks. That was about 10 years ago, though.
If I still lived in Dallas, I would love to meet with you. I'm on the west coast now, though. Good luck finding what you're looking for!
