Pictured is the airplane I flew today. Yep--I was in the pilot's seat. After years of simulator addiction (my gateway drug) I decided to try actually being behind a flight yoke. Since it was my first time, I didn't get to do much. I made a few turns, learned to steer on the ground using my feet, did a few radio calls, and learned the basics of the pre-flight check list. Just like any escalating addiction, it costs a lot more. But I think having my pilot's certificate would be cool.

Very expensive hobby gas prices have been over 5.00 bucks since I was little. My dad loves the Piper Line of planes :) we used to have a Piper Archer II until he sold it when I was 10.

That's so awesome! Driving a plane is probably the funnest thing you can do.

Flying would be mucho badass. After you get your certification, it would be cool to see you get a multiple-engine certification and fly more complicated craft in the future.
