I got my PPL in 1991 aged 17 after an RAF Flying Scholarship and then flew until 1995 when I stopped as I had just come out of university, started a job, bought a house etc so had to sacrifice the flying.
Some 20 years on, I'm thinking of getting back into it and re-certifying but now feel that I am a lot more aware of my own mortality than I was as a youngster and am not sure if I will be able to get back up there and do it justice.
Am going to book an hour flight at the local flying school to see if I have the stomach for it any more. I really hope I still do but just feel I'll be a bundle of nerves all the way through it.
