Re: I want to learn how to fly a plane
I just got my pilot license this month and it has been one of the greatest experiences of my life. I took my dad as my first passenger for a tour over San Francisco and he loved it, (me too). It took about 3 1/2 months and cost a bit more then they quote on the website that was linked above. It was about $4500 for me to complete my training, but the bay area is more expensive than most places.
I would recommend getting the book and studying on your own instead of going to a ground school. I would also recommend taking the knowledge test before starting or very early in your training. Doing both of those will save you money in instruction over the course of your training.
Feel free to ask me any questions about it since it is all still fresh in my head, (and I like to encourage other aspiring pilots).
