That's just not true. Unless you are homeless and have no education,
its not such a big deal to at least learn to fly.


Then why do so few people do it? In the U.S., less than 1/10 of one
percent of the population learns to fly.


Wrong again.


I know a few teenage kids at my local airport who earned their
PPLs with just a part time job at the FBO during the summers.


How many teenage kids are willing to go to that extreme just to learn
to fly?


Anyone that realy wants to.


It can be done and its actually a cake if you have a college
education.


Why would a college education make it easier?


Jesus wept.

$5k or even $10k is not that
much in the grand scheme of things these days. That would be the cost
of a vacation trip to Europe for a family of 4.


Most families of four never go to Europe.

So what?
