Then I could do some amazing photographic tours. I'd buy a 4 seater with floats and wheels so I could land anywhere. Some of the remote communities and stories you could come back with would be amazing. Lane Man I want to learn how to fly. Then I could do some amazing photographic tours.

Learning to fly one was by far the most difficult thing I've ever done -- but immensly satisfying once you manage it. Once you have your licence, try helicopters.

What model DCs are you wearing in the picture, and how do you find them with wearing glasses? Cheers, Shannon,

Taking off is easy and not scary. Landing is a little more scary the first few times (probably the only scary thing if you're landing with turbulence or unfavourable wind conditions), but you'll do some many touch-and-goes with your instructor on board that it'll be second nature before you're expected to do it solo.

I was up at Buttonville last weekend doing a bit of nerdy business and saw that they're charging $80/hr but also noticed that Seneca runs a course there. I'd love to learn to pilot a plane as I love flying but hate taking off and landing. Learning to do it myself would likely quell my fears, or at least one-up my brother who is a licensed visual pilot. What kind of plane are you flying in for your lessons?
