I wish the best for ya. What type of plane are you going to be learning on?

[BurntAsh]

well im taking my intro flight in the Piper Warrior II







but when i start taking the lessons ill probably learn in the Cessna 150/152 or maybe 172. since they are cheaper to rent than the piper warrior, which is $20 more to rent an hour.

Cessna 150

Thats something I've always wanted to do. My friend has done it. He is currently an instructor at an Aeroclub here in NZ. When I get a bit more time, he's going to teach me hopefully. Theres just something about flying isn't there

Good luck... Just checking, unlike certain middleastern gentlemen, you will be taking courses in actually landing the plane?
