Passion for flying anyone??
Whatever happened to embarking on a flying career for the sole reason it is your passion? Nothing else mattered apart from the smell of avgas and the indescribable high of peeling through a crisp winters morning just as the sun rises?
It worked for me..... 35 years later I tell anyone who asks they should go for it if they take a 1/2 hour trial introductory flight and their hearts remain in the clouds for the next 48hrs.
If you don't have the passion, don't even start.
