On the subject of habits, I recently stumbled accross
this old thread from 2004 entitled "when you almost became 'another statistic'" whilst searching for something completely unrelated. Some interesting tales in there, but I don't think learning to fly in a trauma instead of its bigger brother would have avoided any of those incidents. But I digress, I think I've OT'd this thread enough, I'm out of here.... happy flying to the OP, wherever he decides to learn and whatever he decides to learn in !
