Thanks everyone! Wow, quick responses and I really appreciae it. I live
in olathe kansas. There is a Air Associates of Kansas that has a $59
discovery flight that I think i will try. Thanks!!

One other question. Will flying normally invalidate my work based life
insurance? Or does each policy have different options?

Is there a FAQ that covers all beginning questions?

I need one answer that will require someone just being honest with me.
I am 6 foot and weigh about 260 pounds.

A 152 is out of the question. A 172 would do fine, but a good
instructor/operator will let you sit in the airplane just to see. You'll
only have trouble down the road if you try to pack three other guys your
size in the airplane.

Also, what is the first step? How do I find a good flight school that I
can trust if I know no other pilots?

Where are you at? Ask here.
