FLYING LESSONS!

I’ve been obsessed with aircraft for as long as I can remember. Not casually interested — obsessed. So the fact that I’ve never actually learned to fly is one of those gaps in my life that doesn’t make complete sense, except that it does, because life fills up and flying keeps getting postponed. It nearly happened for my 40th. COVID had other ideas.

This is the one that goes beyond bucket list. A Private Pilot Licence means solo flight — real solo flight, cleared by a controller, responsible for the aircraft, nobody else in the loop. That’s the dream. Not a trial lesson. The actual thing.
