Reasons to give up now before you start:-
- you still have your sanity
- you still have money
- you still have a choice about what to do when the sun shines
- although single at the moment you might find a relationship
Reasons why you'll regret taking it up:-
- The bl**dy landings are impossible
- For most mortals (i.e. sky gods excepted) it isn't the most natural thing to do
- It will become all consuming
- There will be frustrating days (just look at some of the threads on here)
- You will bore the pants off everyone you meet with your flying tales
- Every penny you can spare will be poured into getting your PPL as soon as you can . . .
- . . . and once beyond that into getting airborne as frequently as you can, whether renting, part owning or owning
Reasons for doing it regardless of any of the above:-
- If you don't do it you'll regret it for ever
- Life is short
- The opportunity to be at one with (tempted to say nature) using your skill and sometimes luck to survive are few and far between in this over regulated world
- None of the above matter
- IMHO nothing (yes, nothing) can beat flying
Good luck, do it, persevere and enjoy every minute. Those of us who fly at whatever level are part of a small, elite and lucky group of people.
