Education, grandmother, ova and a fair amount of suction.
For some reason aviation is a subject that kooks,wannabes and Walter
Mittys latch onto..
Why?
I have no idea. perhaps with all the accumulated wisdom you have you
might like to pass on the reasons ?
If you want to fly or learn to fly there are hundreds (even thousands)
of instructors waiting out there for you to walk through the doors.
Why just pass over a posters claims when you know that they are
seriously in error ?

The most useless things in aviation are;
fuel in the bowser
runway behind you
and altitude above you
