Reading Rich Bach's book, "THE GIFT OF WINGS".
I had been skydiving for eight years and was tired of just going up and
down. I was 26, single, had the time, had the money, so I did it.


I'd always wanted to fly, but had almost zero information about it.
An old friend of mine got his private ticket just before applying to
be a Navy pilot. He explained what was required and how it was not
beyond the reach of the average person. It opened up a whole new
world. My ignorance of general aviation was the only thing that had
stood in my way.
