Very well said! If you want to be a professional, you need to understand the sacrifices.

Your best bet at this pint might be to hang around the airport (hopefully you have a mid-size general aviation field nearby) and try to hook up a private owner/pilot. As long as he is certified and insured for single-pilot ops, he should be able to let anyone sit in the right seat.

I got a responce from one of the compainies and they said that they would be glad to take me up for a maintenance flight to an airport. They also invited me to the hangar for a tour. I will also send letters to more charter companies.

Congratulations, nice to hear someone do something positive for once. Enjoy the experience and ask lots of questions - pilots love to show you how smart they are

For once a "glass is half full" post! Thank you, and I am excited to just sit in a King Air let alone maybe even fly it for a turn or something simple. I am waiting for a reply for a charter company who has a brand new Eclipse 500 which is single pilot certified. That company has only one pilot, so flying a brand new jet with new airplane smell would be out of this world.
Have a nice and happy holiday
