My brother is a pilot. When to Emry Riddle in Fla, and then flew for United, has a two seater too. He just quit that job though and has spent the past 2 month in the NY State Trooper Academy

Damn near went through the commercial training, but decided I'd be flying and thinking about cars. It's probably #2 or #3 of my list of things I absolutely LOVE to do. 'Gonna take the new girl up for a little flight here soon. It's definitely something that's great to get friends involved in.

Yes, flying is definitely on the top of my list next to cars.

I got to fly a Cessna when I was in Civil Air Patrol. I put the wings on a vertical angle cause I always wanted to do that. The Air Force Captain I was with didnt even seem to notice.

I can't stress enough how much I'd love to do one of those civilian ride-alongs... My preference would be with the Blue Angels, but hell, I'm not picky. I love how calm those guys stay on the radio.
