At 14 my father learned to fly (but never actually finished his PPL). I expressed an interest at 16 and had my first lesson. Got to solo stage and waited and waited and waited until...........turned 17 and completed rest of syllabus within 4 weeks!

That was 14 years ago and I reckon the PPL was the best thing I have ever done (in terms of the self satisfaction I achieve from my flying).

Oh and I love my wife and kids too!!
