What motivated you to get started?

  It is something I've always been interested in... I had a few friends involved in general aviation, and it seemed like a good group of people. Now that I re-read my OP, it sounds pretty negative. I really enjoy it, and am looking forward to learning about mountain flying and instrument flying. I should have done it 20 years ago (I'm 45 now). One of the benefits to waiting until you're older is you probably have more money to spend on it (plan on $10k to $15k). One of the downsides to waiting is I think it gets tougher to learn when you're older, as you have a lifetime of car driving to overcome and you're more fearful (at least I was) than younger "kids".
