New to the Newsgroup

Congratulations on getting your ppl. I hope to get mine before the year is
over. Maybe someone will give me a plane when I retire . We are not old,
just sexy senior citizens.

I've been lurking here since May of this year and thought I'd go ahead
and announce myself. I started flying in May and am now on my third dual
xc. Flying has always been a dream of mine and I decided to "make it
happen" since I'm getting much older (55, I don't plan on becoming a
career pilot). I have about 25 hours flying time. My greatest experience
so far was my solo flight. This newsgroup presents (for the most part) a
lot of good and useful information as well as experiences. Just thought
I would say hello.

You'll get it when you get it. Depending on what the weather is doing, and how
much time you have to consecrate, it can take longer.

Don't be impressed by the young ones who claim to have soloed after 7 hours and
were ready for the PPL well before the 40-hour limit. In today's regulatory
context, 60h is more typical.

It's a highly rewarding thing you're doing.

Thanks. I'm not racing to get my ppl. My objective is to learn as much as
I can and do things the right way.

From one sexy senior citizen to another "welcome aboard" I started my
flight lessons at age 69 and now
10 years later still flying my own C150. You have many years to go,
enjoy!!!!!!!!!

Bob, that is really good. I hope you fly for many years to come.

And - I have to tell you - Bob was a GREAT motivation to me.
The fact that I can now fly circles around him is irrelevant (note for
the humour impaired - that was a joke
The fact that I'm sexier? That wasn't a joke

Go for it!
Become the 1 in 1000 who really live!

Uh oh, don't give mxmaniac any statistical ammunition.
