I got my Private Pilots License in 2010 and really enjoy it a lot, flew to some beautiful destinations with shtank with both our planes on Chol Hamoed, flying out to the catskills almost weekly summer months.
Spoke to so many people and hear this again and again, "started working on my PPL but dropped out, never finished it"
This is whats happening, when you think about going for it you think it'll take a few months and ill have it and enjoy it,
But what they dont know is that its a tough process with serious FAA tests,
Unless you really dedicate your time and effort and immerse yourself in studding the FAA books and charts, youll be dropping out and lose the time and money already spent....
