Hello Everyone, I am 24 and am in College. I started out late because I had a loss in my family a few years back. But, I have always wanted to be a pilot, right now I am holding my Private Pilot's License. I fly so much! I am in the Colledge of Calgary, for a 2 year Pilot Coarse. I entered with my Private License, and will be gone in a year with my commercial. It's a very fun thing, and I think that the best time to start is at 14, or 15 years of age!
So have fun guys!

Hey, great 1st discussion my friend. Seems like you don't need any tips you have the hang of it already. Good to see you wrote a paragraph, you earn more that way rather then a couple of lines.
So sorry to hear about your loss in your family.
A pilit, wow, that is awesome, that would be the best feeling flying a plane. Don't think I could do it myself though, be too scared of crashing. Keep at your studies of becoming a pilot, the results are going to be unbelievable. Fly around the world and get paid for it. @rocketright (26)

Haha thanks, yah I guess I'm just that special Lol. Thanks:D
Yah it's an amazing feeling, I remember the first time I flew a plane, it's weird. I had no fear of crashing or anything... Not scared of the heights or anything. Which is really weird because I hate heights. I loved the feeling, and he even let me land the plane. I was 13 years old:D I was so excited and my dad was video taping. Thanks very much, I will let you know how I do!

Wow sounds like you were born to be a pilot. Can't believe you weren't scared at 13 to fly a plane. No guts no glory, huh? That would be good having a video too of your first time flying. Good luck with it, wish you all the best.@rocketright (26)

Congratulations to you and Good Luck!! I always wanted to be a Pilot. Had entrance exmanination at Patts which is an aviation school here in the Philippines and lucky I did pass although I had to go abroad to study another course enrolled by my grandad so yeah it wasn't meant for me. Sad but its fine. Im now taking Nursing ^_^, having fun!

Thank you very much! That's good you passed, theres always a positive in every story:D That really sucks, but yeah it wasn't meant for you... it's just like that for some people. Which I can totally understand because there are lot's of things that I was not meant for or to do.
On the reply to MZ_Ira yah it is super expensive. Luckily my parents were well off and I worked a lot to get where I am. It costs estimated $55,000 to become a commercial pilot. Which is a heck of a lot of money.
