How do you feel when you fly the plane?

I am NOT Pilot...

-Abhi.

with my hands just like when I am not flying

You probably don't want to hear this Ms. Green, but your comment was
rude enough to earn you a seat in my killfile.


Rude? Don't you feel things with your hands?

Now if you're flying open cockpit, I guess you feel things with a lot
of other parts of your body too, especially your face...

No sense of humour at all either

How do you feel when you fly the plane?

I waited 35 years before learning to fly. I am now 45, and regard the
first 35 years of my life as wasted time, spent standing on the ground
gazing skyward.

When I'm in the sky, I am happy.

And when I'm on the ground, I want to be in the sky.

It's a terrible addiction.

Matter of fact- I have seen planes only in sky. Till this date, I have
not touched any plane or even saw it closely. No chance to become
Pilot at the age of 34.


Why? I am 41 and I just started taking lessons last year.
And I think I am well on my way to the PPL, maybe 2 or 3 more months.

I know of many people who started even later and there are always those
(true!) stories of someone starting to learn flying well beyond their
sixties.

As long as you are in reasonably good health you can become a pilot.

Ummm...

For the moment, I am just looking at blue sky...

And I just pray before God to give me spirit and opportunity to fly in
blue sky, over clouds, seas, mountains, deserts...

Too many relative terms here.

What is meant by "early aircraft", those of the era of the Wright Bros?

What are "today's aircraft"? The ones built forty-some years ago, that
most of us are flying around in today?

Or are we referring to the ones coming out of the factories "today"?

Which one of those places are you in?

There are flying clubs in India which will take you for a half
hour lesson. I've visited ones in Madras and Calcutta.
Maybe around Rs 2000-2500. It will be worth it.

Has a list of flying clubs in India.

But I can afford the fare of plane for some distance like
Bombay-Delhi. And sometime in future I am planning to experience how
you people feel in blue sky up there.
