I've got plenty of air lovers in my class, much of them already fly small planes and going to the air school to learn how to fly the big ones .
But I don't like flying at all :roll:

My brother flys too. :D He has a PPL licence. We flew together many times in a small plane.

Oh, and I love it every time... sometimes when we are in air already, he lets me fly the plane... boy is that fun. :D Of course he handels take offs and landings. :wink:

Flying a plane by my self looks very cool :lol: (but i don't got a brother who's a pilot :roll: )
But being a pilot of large planes looks very boring to me, takeoff and landings are really exciting but when you're high in the air can't do a thing (autopilot and check the stats)
I haven't flied for 7 years, hope i can go to New York this summer :) maybe it's more fun now.
