Funny how a game inspires you to step it up:

my suggestion is to take out a loan and complete your lessons. i have seen too many people have car trouble or some other jewel that life dishes out that zaps the money supply and the lessons go out the door...and somehow never get returned to. if you have the money already in the flight schools hands you will make a point of going...and will enjoy doing so. there is absolutely nothing like dancing in the clouds and leaving the world so far below....make sure you finish...you will never regret that decision.

PS....once you are done...or if you are hanging around the airport... find a guy that does aerobatics...see if he will take you up...better yet...teach you.

Just make sure to research the school a little bit and make sure it isnt about to go belly up (ie Silverstate helicopters) and lose that money. Im in aviation (AP mech / pvt rotorcraft ratings) and i know silverstate isnt fixed wing, but principle applies.

i thoroughly agree 100%. in fact i would get the loan and only pay ahead by $1000...or make 1/4 the total. that's how i did it. if the unforseeable does happen you arent dead in the water.
