I took flying lessons at one point in my life. Communication with ATC intimidated me so that it became a major reason I didn’t stick with it. I could not keep up with them.

[@jwahoski6248]

@@SMaamri78 I’m a student pilot. At first I felt very intimidated by ATC and how fast they give instructions, but after a while I started to get the hang of it. There’s also no shame in asking them to slow down and/or repeat the instructions. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve said “read back slower please, student pilot.” You should try to get back into it if you ever feel confident enough!

I love your new paint & interior! I soloed in 72 got my private ticket in 75 with over 400 hours, then complex aircraft in a Comanche 250. I've been flying since 1958 when my Dad bought his first plane. We had a sod strip and hanger in the back yard out in the country. My bucket list dream is to fly in the cockpit of a private jet at flight level 410 or above, to see the curvature of the earth. I doubt that will happen now, my Dad sold the Comanche 250 when he got Parkinsons, then passed away 6 years ago. I worked in our print shop with him for 45 years every day, I really miss him. I've watched all your videos, almost makes me feel like I'm up there. Please keep them coming, they're Awesome! Dan

Imagine being told by everyone that was the thing that keeps you from your dream, only to find out when you're 34 that there was a waiver, and that you just probably made room for the next guy by giving up.
