Random Poll!

The question is...

How many of you know a pilot? (As in someone with a pilots license)

I know a man named Bob who's a pilot. He goes to the same church as me, and it was actually quite a shock to find out he can fly because he is quite an older gentleman. He's not a commercial pilot, but he can fly small propeller planes. He says he‘s also flown jets, but it’s “been so long I couldn’t fly it properly”. I really need to ask him for a flight someday.

It’s actually surprising not that many people know how to fly. I mean sure it’s difficult, but it’s truly an incredible technology. Perhaps someday in the future flying will be so simple that everyone will know how? But with today's controls I'd never even try to fly a plane.

So vote here, and also remember you can do multiple votes on this pole (just don’t select yes and no at the same time please. That would be very annoying).

    "will be so simple" "fly a plane." Take Simple and Plane out. You get Simpleplanes.

    @MrDoolittle that's cool! Are you using a 152/150 or 172 for your flight training? And doing solo in the aircraft is really fun to be honest!
    (I'm about halfway to getting my private pilots license and I'm training in a 1966 172H)

    I live in Wichita, KS... My school is right next to the Cessna and Beechcraft airports, so I guess almost everybody's parents are pilots or plane engineers...
