I was an arrogant son-of-a-bitch before I learned to fly.
That's many years ago now, but I recall watching all those guys and gals in their 172's thinking I'd be into a KingAir before they even got certificated. Guess what happened instead - I actually learned something! First thing I learned was how much I didn't know. You are light-years away from that and moving at lightspeed toward the dark end. That would be a great new pseudo for you by the way "LightSpeedToward Darkness". Can we get that enacted right away? More on what I learned - the immense satisfaction of mastering the thing - never master, but every day less and less a slave. Far too humbling a satisfaction for the likes of you to assimilate. Of course I never came anywhere near your abyss of pride and ignorance. Perhaps you really are at lightspeed and there is no recovery possible. Today I still don't have my KingAir, but I have a 182T and I'm just enthralled at what a capable airplane it is! I hate to gloat about it, but I'm really happy not to be in the deep rut you're in. You know you're in deep trouble. Find professional help. |

The very voice of experience! Mostly research rather than experience. If you're so keenly interested in aviation, take some flight lessons, for God's sake. That isn't practical at the moment. Today you sit around in a French café with your pals telling them you would be perfectly able to land an airliner and that you know more about aviation than most pilots. I don't go to cafés, and I don't have pals. If you take some lessons, by the time you solo in the lowly Champ or C152 (and you will get there) you will have, if nothing else, dispelled the notion that you would be capable of landing an airliner! Since these are not airliners, flying in them would tell me nothing about my ability or inability to land an airliner. |

Easy and cheap - even where you live. No, unfortunately it is not. A pilot's license with an instrument rating, for example, would cost $20,000 to $40,000, according to pilots and instructors I've talked to. Can't fool me. No need. I'm afraid I'm not surprised. . . Why are you afraid? Completely mistaken - couldn't be further from the truth - as usual. Try it, and you'll see. |
