MS Were you in the Jet Center or the old GA terminal
MS building? There were several other flying clubs at SJC which
MS had lockers at the old GA terminal before it was torn down to
MS expand 30R.

I think the GA terminal, though at the time I didn't think of it as a
"terminal". This was in 1975. I soloed the last day I was a teenager,
and passed my flight test on the 199th anniversary of US independence,
easy dates to remember.

I think instruction was $8/hour and a C-150, wet, was $13. A lot of
money for a student salary, but it was either that, or buy a good
car. Being a geek I didn't care much about my vehicle...I wanted to
learn to fly!

Headphones and push-to-talk buttons belonged to pilots in crisp white
dress shirts in big airplanes. It was a big advance for us to start
buying and using the foam earplugs. Microphone and loudspeaker turned
up to distortion were the norm. Even then SJC was busy so it was one
hand on yoke, another on throttle, third hand holding the mic.
