You've flown the simulators, you've read the books, and you've thought about it since you were little. Now it's time to take the next step and actually learn to fly.
Private aviation is without a doubt the best method of travel there is.
When you're the pilot of a small plane, you travel 2-4 times the speed of a car, but you control the schedule, not some airline executive. You can fly down a canyon in the Rockies or along the coast of the Pacific or the Great Lakes. You can see the fall colors of Vermont spread out as far as you can see. No other form of transportation lets you see so much. Flying opens up a new world.
