Thank you so much for asking. The best thing you could do right now is partner with us at $10 a month. That would be the most powerful thing you can do for us right now. Have a look at our website invisibleangels.org and look at some of our videos. Thanks so much!

Ha! I fly out of KZPH, I park over by Hawk Hanger (until I can get into a hanger). At any rate, I'm learning purely out of the joy of aviation. I'm soon-to-be 49, so I don't have plans to go to the airlines. I'm interested in alternate commercial paths though. I want to go through to commercial no matter what as I believe it will make me a better pilot overall.

I originally started my PPL in my 20's but stopped after 41 hrs due to finances. Now I'm 53 with a family, and I am determined to finish what I started. My wife and I dream of having some flying adventures, but it never occurred to me it would still be possible to seek out a career in aviation after 50. Just something else for me to think about, so thank you for the inspiring question.

Getting a job isn’t the only reason to learn how to fly. In fact for some people turning it into a job is how it loses its magic. To me, hearing someone say that they are tired of general aviation, is the same as saying I’m tired of driving cars I’m just going to use Uber from now on. We are lucky to live in a country that affords us this luxury, most countries don’t. The magic in aviation comes from the freedom of being able to hop in a plane and going wherever we want at a moments notice. The airplane is the tool we use to do this. You can own it outright or enter into a partnership or rent it or join a club. There are countless reasons to learn how to fly an airplane. Forgive me but getting tired of general aviation is a loss of perspective in my humble opinion. Good luck on your journey and safe travels.

@larrymoy49553 күн бұрын
I started a career change to aviation but it's not going as fast as I expected. Various reasons but a big one is that I just absolutely love time building by traveling GA. Even after I get a commercial job flying jets I don't think I'll ever be tired with GA. I've made too many friends in the community.

I stopped flying after 60 hours into training 3 years ago. 50 years old now. Economy tanked, less disposable income and thought, what the heck is my mission? I can't just take off for burger runs. Seems like a lot of money just for bragging rights and farting around in the sky. I still have that urge to finish though. Being in control of your own flight is an amazing experience.

Love the topic on doing more with piloting after 50. I am a bit confused by the comment “I am done with GA”. Was that more like “I am done with not making more out of my flying”. Technically corporate flying is still GA. Your 135 is GA. Not trying to be technical, just trying to understand where you/she is going with that comment.

Go unpressurized it’ll be cheaper on the annuals and maintenance and you won’t have to worry about having your pressurization system fail because that will require extensive maintenance…😇
