Hey guys!
I am going to be taking ground school this semester and hopefully become a pilot someday, so I was wondering... Is anyone on here a pilot??? Or does anyone have any tips for a newbie?

I've been yearning to fly for a couple of years now, and am aiming toward powered paragliding or paragliding. For about $10G youcan get your equipment and training to fly ppg even less for pg. Purpotedly VERY safe, VERY fun. Can't wait to try. Some ski resorts offer it during the off season. You may have to travel for training, but for me this seems the most feasible means by which to fly.

my mom used to skydive but she decided she better chill out a bit and act like a regular mom, lol, not many soccer moms skydive. I have been thinking about it lately and might learn to fly an plane and get my license for it then go and get one for a chopper, heard it is cheaper and easier this way. My old boss at my vocational school has 2 cessna airplanes one is a 1947 and the other is quite newer but dont remember its age, he is gunna take me up in them soon, later  |

It is in vain, that statesmen shall form plans of government, in which the beauty and harmony of a republic shall be embodied in visible order, shall be built up on solid substructions, and adorned by every useful ornament, if the inhabitants suffer the silent power of time to dilapidate its walls, or crumble its massy supporters into dust; if the assaults from without are never resisted, and the rottenness and mining from within are never guarded against. Who can preserve the rights and liberties of the people, when they shall be abandoned by themselves? Who shall keep watch in the temple, when the watchmen sleep at their posts? Who shall call upon the people to redeem their possessions, and revive the republic, when their own hands have deliberately and corruptly surrendered them to the oppressor, and have built the prisons, or dug the graves of their own friends?

My brother is a pilot... and once upon a time, president of SPA.
I've flown a few times, but never got my liscense. Too expensive to tell you the truth.

You jump out of Pilots? That's pretty messed up! Like one of those giant birthday cakes, but instead of a cake I imagine Brendhan bursting through the chest of a airline pilot like alien!!! Or do you mean you jump out of the Honda Pilot while it's rolling down the road? Either way, you're hardcore man! lololololol Sean Kelly |

After eating nearly a dozen eggs yesterday, I felt like someone jumped out of me when I went to take my morning constitutional today. I wonder if it was him? |

Yeah, oh I feel fine... now. Sometimes I make a big batch of deviled eggs (whenever I have more than 18 washed and 12 unwashed eggs in the fridge, which is the max I have room for)... problem is... I like deviled eggs too much. |

Oh man, I love deviled eggs too!!!! Back before I got married, my church had a huge potluck and I made a massive batch of deviled eggs the night before. Come Sunday, they were all gone! I had no one to blame cause I lived by my self! lol Needless to say, I skipped Sunday service to replace my "deviled"  eggs and showed up just for the potluck. lol Sean Kelly |

Jody, I think eggs do that no matter what. Something to do with the sulfur content or something.
