Wow. I took 90 hours and enjoyed every min. I guess everyone is in a rush
to go someplace. When you decided to fly at 51 the journey is as sweet as
the destination. (you can teach old dogs new tricks)

I choosed to do extra training in our NY/Philly class B area and learned to
fly along the coast and over the Deleware bay etc. Didn't mind the extra
cost. I would have spent the same money on the flight time and instruction
after my PP-SEL.

But then this is a hobby for me. I have a day job. We are all very lucky to
experience this.

In my case, it was 72 hours, and I enjoyed most of it. Having a lovely blond
instructor of the opposite sex played a part. :-) I had some trouble getting my
medical certificate, though, and about 15 hours of that was marking time waiting
on that.

Give a person a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a person to
use the Internet and he won't bother you for weeks.
