Sounds like your excited to begin. In addition to the wisdom on this site
there are quite a few other resources that you should use as well. AOPA it
an excellent starting point. Got a question on Aviation just type it into
google.

The fact that you asked the question reveals how much you will have yet to
learn (and thats a good thing). I've read Buying and Owning your own
Airplane by James E. Ellis. (2004).

Going to Barnes and Noble right now... If I can't find it in there I'll
just go to Amazon.

I'm lucking enough to fly out of an FBO which has a well maintained range of
equipment (two 152, 72 (two SP's and a G1000), 182RG, and an Archer. For my
type of flying (xc usually within 3 hours) the economics and availability
of equipment still favors renting for me. Its like have a personal fleet of
planes to match my specific needs. Fun breakfast run or serious IFR xc.

That's something to consider as well...

I have my IFR checkride next week. My first flight was March 2004 I now
have 260 hours. Only now do I really know the type of plane that would fit
my needs except I don't really have the funds to spend on my dream plane.

Good luck and welcome to GA.


Hey, thanks - It looks as it will get busy all of the sudden?
