Must admit, I was a user of MSFS98 and then 2000. Always had an interest in aviation since I was a kid. Never thought about learning to fly because of the cost and time involved.
My wife planned to get me a trial lesson for Xmas last year. Had 1st lesson in April. Was really excited, but nervous beforehand.
Couldn't believe it when my instructor told me hold the yoke, advance the throttle and rotate at 60KIAS. Didn't think I would do this in the first lesson. The sensation I went through on that 1st rotate was amazing. Was hooked immediately and proceeded to book a lesson for the next day.
Sturggling to find the funds here in Ireland. Looking at hour building in the states 2001 with the hope to complete license late 01, early 02.
