I started instructing when I was 20 loved every minute of it. I taught students ranging from RAF cadets at 16 years to my oldest student of 72. I'm now flying jets with the airlines and keep my currency on my dads plane, but I loved every minute of it, it made moving onto the larger a/c easyer for me than for the 250hr guys. Unfortunately my current company won't let me instruct part time - Real bummer!!
