I want to start my aviation career....at 44 yrs old

Oh well... I am 36 years old and IT professional (more than 17 years
of experience) and I just started my PP training 2 months ago. I want
to get my PPL, Instruments raiting and the CFI so I can start having
some income and get some more hours while training new generations

Good Luck! .... and follow your dream it took me 30 years start mine.

Alright...this is getting spooky I'm an IT guy in Cincinnati, and
was just talking to my wife last night about possible options for
getting out of IT and flying professionally. Must be something in the
water.

But if this works out, I guess Cincinnati will have an abundant supply
of hardcore IT-geek pilots floating about.....

Cheers,

Cap

Today is the first day I've ever looked at this newsgroup, but wouldn't you
know, I'm starting to ask myself the same question: how feasible is it to
scrap programming and get into an aviation career?

I don't have any answers for you, but I'll be watching this space with
interest, as I find myself in the same boat (in Cincinnati). I have a
friend in Columbus who went to work for Toyota (another IT guy).

OK. I'll add my $.02. I've been in IT for 25 years, and am now
studying for my Commercial. Must be all that sim time that we geeks have.

... you can deduct your training for further "instructor" ratings...

I'm not sure that's true either.

Remember, though. Beware of geeks bearing gifs.

This marriage is off to a shaky start. The groom just asked the band to
play "Your cheatin' heart", and the bride just requested "Don't come home
a'drinkin' with lovin' on your mind".
