I have been flying airplanes since before I could drive. I soloed at 16, got my Private ticket at 17, and my Commercial ticket at 18. Other endorsements and ratings (tailwheel, glider, multi-engine, seaplane, instructor) came later. Flying has been a lifelong obsession...a real sickness! Those of you who are already licensed know what I mean. Those of you just starting out will find out very quickly that flying becomes a part of your DNA!
