Back in the early 70’s, would cut out the, ’coupon’, in the local Sunday paper, for a 5.00, 1 hour, ‘Flying Lesson’, At a local airport.
Every Week, 5.00 bucks would be a 1 hour, ‘lesson’. At first it was 45 min on the ground, going through ‘pre flight’, after, several weeks, (as they recognized me), it was 15 min, ‘pre flight’ and 45, ‘Flying’.
Never, ‘landed’ or, ’took off’, But once in the air, the ‘instructor,’ let me, ‘pilot’, the airplane.
By Late 70’s, “Going to get my License”, I thought. But, Cheese and Rice, it was expensive !
So never did, but, still enjoy, people who I know, who do have a license, and they, let’ me, ‘fly’.
So those that, DO have a license, Hats Off!
(Is that why I like the S-40, you, ‘Drive it’, not, ‘ride it” ?)
