Lasiorhinus,
Thanks for the reply. Initially it would be to just tool around and see if I enjoy it. I doubt I would do any flying around the city, it just seems to busy.
It seems that the sport license may not be a good fit. The plan would be to get licensed to enjoy some short fun flights in a rented plane. (cessna 152, 172, etc.). To progress and get hours flying, I may be able to fly the 182 or 205 at the dropzone. In essence trade a few hours flying as a "diver driver" in return for some flying time.
Thanks for the guidance. It's off to do some more research.
Regards,
Brian
