me too
Hey SydneyAeros,
Me too. 36, different career-film/tv/music, had enough, though very good at it.
Wanted to fly when I was 18 but got no encouragement...
Freelanced all my working life, so no 150k payout, wife, kid on the way.
Bought into a syndicate, used the plane to get my ppl, now on 80 odd hours, doing cpl exams now, looking for an aircraft to buy outright-if I buy one I can sell it in a year or two for more or less the same money.
Get my hours on SE up to maybe 300-400, sell the single engine, buy a twin, get to 500 hours and IFR and then see what happens.
That's one of the plans.
I you want to fly, fly, don't throw the towel in on what you already know though, there's more than one way to skin this cat.
I know what you mean though, it's hard to think of anything else - if I haven't flown for even a week I get edgy, very edgy... If you want to have a beer, pm me.
cheers
