16 Year Old's First Solo (Cessna 172)

[stratele0205]

yo con 16 jugaba al flight simulator 2004, y ahora con 19 el FSX, y este a los 16 polotea un cessna y solo, que lindo es tener dinero. por que cualquiera puede pilotar, pero se necesita, un poquito, un poquito nada mas de dinero. jjaja. 6000 dolarines, para mi algo imposible,

[firemedic561]

@stratele0205 ...Todo se puede amigo. Ya vistes que el muchacho trabaja en el Burger King??

[stratele0205]

@firemedic561 eso lo dijo de humildad, por que existen todavia las personas humildes. pero vamos a ser realista. que un chico de 16 años. que trabaja en un burger. va a pilotar un cessna solo. " un chico de 16 que trabaja " en un burguer es señal que es de familia clase baja. a pobre. para tener que trabajar a esa edad. pero bueno. de cualquier forma si se puede, pero es algo muy lejano para muchos.

[radarbrew]

That shows some dedication, working at BK and going for PPL. You've got a solid goal, good to see that in a young person.

[youngestpilotinGa]

@gentarion that was a pretty rude assumption jackass

[gentarion]

@youngestpilotinGa fuck you poor fool

[trufa12]

@gentarion I cessna is not much money... Just a car max. But the pilot license is expensive.

[novsierra]

@gentarion dude i'm only about $1200 into my license and I'm ready to get it, only i'm not old enough...

[tinyman12323]

@gentarion No, PPL license don't cost much at all. About 140 Bucks a lesson for about 4 lessons a month. You join a group called Aviation Explorers, they pay for half of every lesson. That's 70 bucks a lesson, you can pay that off if you worked at McDonalds.

[gentarion]

@tinyman12323 you lucky Americans! Here in Norway it's IMPOSSIBLE to gain a PPL without spending at least $10,000.. most people end up paying like 12-15k!!

[demopilot208]

@tinyman12323 Aviation Exploring posts are quite sparse in the United States, with only probably a dozen nation wide and are spread across the country. Not all Aviation Exploring posts offer half lesson discounts either...ours does not have that.

[tinyman12323]

@demopilot208 Yeah I know, but if you do research, you may find one, and ours isnt half of every lessons, its 10 hours before, and 15 after solo, which equals up to half of your training.

[samm1551995]

@gentarion in the U.S. it doesn't. i live in holland scumbag klm schools and shizl

[s030141]
