Welcome

Ever since I was a kid I've wanted to fly!  While I managed a couple of flights in a sailplane and even a flight in a CT4 Airtrainer it wasn't until 1998 I started doing any flying on a regular basis.  While I couldn't afford GA flying at the time, I took up paragliding.   However after 12 years, over 400 logged hours and the birth of 3 kids it was time to move on to fulfill my dream of getting my Private Pilot's License.

I've decided to blog about my flying for 2 reasons 1) It helps cement what I've learnt in my 40 year old brain and 2) I feel a lot can be learnt from sharing experience.  I know I've loved reading/hearing about everyone else flying stories.

While I'm currently just finished my 8th lesson, I'm going to start this blog back at lesson one and take you on the whole journey (I may even throw it a few post about my past flying experiences.)  

So stay tuned for lesson 1 - coming soon.
