I'm watching Rachel Maddow and poking around the web looking for nearby flight training. It'll probably never come to anything, but I love flying as a passenger, and it recently occurred to me that people just like me fly planes. So I'm looking into it. I had been thinking of learning to sail, but it's actually easier to find flying lessons around here than sailing lessons.

Hil, that sounds yummy.
Calli, that sounds exciting!

The film ended right after I went back to it. Great movie, just very intense.
Go you with your flying self, Calli!

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Calli, for the best of both, check out soaring! (Whereabouts are you? I'll look up some links.)

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Calli, I have a coworker who recently got his pilot's license -- you want I should check on where he went for lessons?

A fellow student back in college got his pilot's license in dribs and drabs, when he had the $$ and time. Totally doable!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I'm going to learn to sail in the next year, and then maybe buy a boat.
Sailboating is a somewhat more environmentally friendly hobby than, say, driving a 50 year old car with no pollution controls that gets 11 mpg.

Wow, thanks! I'm just toying with the idea of flying lessons right now. But if I can carve out the time and the dosh over the next year or so it seems really tempting. So, sure, I'd love to see any links people have handy, thanks! dcp, I live in the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill, NC area. Our major airport, RDU, has a flight school, and there are apparently several smaller airports around that also have them. Now that they're getting biofuels that work in planes I feel slightly less eco-dreadful about it.
