How many real pilots here? :)

May be a bit optimistic though but if weather, instructors and aircraft availability is there, I don't think that about a year from now is unrealistic.

forget the Cherokee and learn with the 172, it's a bit of a fat ass bird but it's like a good old car, it will take you anywhere!

Don't u do theory and practical together? I'm sure you can also find some financing solutions for your PPL. Uh and make friends at the local aeroclub: clean planes, offer to help, be there, breathe the atmosphere, and you'll always find someone to hitch a ride from

It's a great passion, and above all a true discipline! Enjoy and keep us updated.
