Yesterday for my 40th birthday my most excellent wife bought me flying
lessons and membership in the flying club at a local airport.

Congratulations. As Dudley requested, please post here your experiences,
impressions, and questions as you progress through your training. There are
some very experienced pilots who contribute to this group and would be very
happy to offer any assistance.

From what I read here over the years it is truly a blessing to have a
supportive wife. A lot are not (mine is). Return the favor to her by learning
all that is needed to become the safest pilot you possibly are able to be.
You and all of your potential passengers deserve this.
