High Brady,
I really enjoy the whole story. I am anxious for seeing the next chapter and I agree with Mike Shiflett my whole life (52 years), at least the 30 years, I´ve wanted to learn to fly. I´ve still hope to reach this goal, maybe in 3 years when I will retire.
Good luck for you

Brady,
What a great flying blog! This should be put on aopa for it's content and production quality. It really gives a prospective student pilot a true look into flight training. I'm currently about the same place you are in training only I'm doing my instrument and about to take the practical. I wish you good luck and would incourage you to do the same blog with your instrument training if you choose to get that rating. Well done.

P.S Please give us the details on your video setup. Would like to do that in my plane.

I really enjoy reading your story. I thought about going for this type of license, but the private pilot would be cheaper in the long run for me. I can learn for alittle more in cost, but can be in another plane if one goes down in seconds. Plus a used Cessna 150 is alot cheaper that any sport plane. Plus the cost to rent is almost the same. Plus I can rent a Cessna 172 if the family wants a trip.
I really wish you well. Be safe!

Hey Brady
I was just wondering after reading Franks comment now that the flying bug has really hit you and from what Ive seen you really have fun doing it will you be considering moving up to a private pilot once you pass ? by the way none of us would be upset if you even didnt get your sport and went right ahead onto working towards a higher licence lol, anyway thank you for doing this its really got me thinking its not just a dream its a real goal that can be done!

Ian: Thanks for your question. I have thought long and hard about sport pilot vs. private pilot ratings. For now, 99% of the flying I'm interested in doing is possible with the sport pilot certificate. And since there are some rentable LSAs available here, that seems like the best way to go - especially since it will take me less time & money to get started.
I will admit, however, I love night flying. It's also likely I will get the bug to keep training and probably eventually go for a private certificate. But for now, the sport pilot seems like the most affordable, practical way for me to get in the sky.

This flying stuff is really cooooool! Good work Brady it is enjoyable to hear of your progress. There is no end to what can be learned in this flying business! I bought into a 1946 BC12-D with a 65 hp engine, handprop to start, and a taildragger to boot! Everywhere I g old pilots come over to look and reminisce about how they started in a Taylorcraft. I feel great to be able to say the same thing. Keep up the good work! Dennis

Good to see a B-17 again. I saw many of them fly over Texarkana back in the forties. I am impressed with how and where you place the cameras. Good job Brady.
