TOO OLD

I am 34. Just passed the 500 hour mark and FI 'ing until a first officer postion magic's itself out of nowhere.

It is a gamble and there have been times i wondered if it was all worth it. I sold my house to pay for the course, left job etc.

I have been instructing for about a month now. Admiitedly, its at the school i have been flying at for a few years now. It is however extrememely good fun (along with badly paid and mentally exhausting). It's good to be paid to fly instead of shelling out £120ph.

As so many people have said before on previous posts; I'd rather be flying a PA28/C150,2 around giving something back to propsective pilots than sitting in the office wondering what could have been.

Or, in my current situation, what may be.
