I was just hoping to hear some stories about how you become a pilot (nfo too) and how you felt, how you got there, the biggest challenges and how it turned out for you. It be nice to get a couple interesting stories!
On the civilian side I remember my 8am to 5pm (yes, 9 hours) check ride 2 days before Christmas. The examiner was old and lonely and really thought it be great to start off with an hour of discussing the history of flight and then another half hour about how her kids don't call anymore. Around 1pm I was starving (because hey, I thought I'd be done by then) and she eats this feast she packed for herself infront of me while I pre-flighted. On top of that she almost suggested we incomplete and try again after the new year when we started loosing daylight. I never drank harder in my life following that ordeal.
If looking to become an aviator, would having flight time now be of any help?
