That is just amazing. From one ltxer to another, I'm so proud of you!
That is something I have also always wanted to do, but I was never in the right place at the right time. I decided to pursue engineering and hopefully I can find a job in aeronautics and pick up flying as a hobby later on.
But very cool, man. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks man. I'm leaving on my cross country flight today. The Instructor Pilot I am flying with seems really laid back, so I am bringing a friends small camera with me. Hopefully I can get some pics of me flying to share.
I totally encourage anyone who ever wanted to fly to pursue it. I got my private pilots license before I was accepted into pilot training for the Air Force, and it was a joke compared to what I am doing now. Not only that but the flight physical consisted of a doc listening to me breath through a stethascope for 30 seconds, and then collecting a $80 check from me to approve me for flying status I actually miss civilian flying as it was very peacefull.
When I am done with all this pilot training I plan on buying a little plane to go out and fly when I want to just cruise around and have fun. What I will be buying is an ultralight which is fairly inexpensive and you legally don't even need a pilots license to fly. That might be another option for anyone wanting just to fly without any hassle.1995 Z28 - disfunctional now, perhaps insane after its "treatment"

Yeah, I'm gonna want that one framed at some point in time. I took a bunch of similar shots, but that one turned out the best. I had to borrow a friends camera to take it so its not quite as good of quality photo as with my camera. (My camera was just way too big to fit in the cockpit)
