Fuck no, you have to have like 1500 hours of flight time.

My problem was, if I got my license I'd have to have a plane, then I'd have to have a place to keep it, then I'd need fuel, then I'd need a lot of time off to travel. If I won the lottery that'd be fine. But I'm middle class with the dreams of a millionaire!

Depends on the gun for both of those. With a rifle I'm pretty good. Both my kids are great shots with a rifle.

With a pistol I'm fair. I'm good enough to hit things, just not good like a trick shot person. My son is very good with a pistol. He and I shoot quite a bit. I would say 90-95% of the time I am very very close to where I am aiming. Then there are those few times where you don't even come close.

A box of .22 shells are probably $10 or so, maybe $20, for 500 or 1000 shells. The 9MM in the picture up there is pretty expensive to shoot so I don't shoot it very often.

Actually that is incorrect. FAA regulations say that you can get a Private Pilot License with 40 hours of which 20 must be flight hours.

I have completed much of my flight training, flown short and long cross country flights and am getting back to it after too long a hiatus.

Did you ever see such a messed up situation in your whole life, son?

Sometimes. My wife won 5,000 on a scratch off ticket once. But that's the most we've ever won. But I rarely play.

Here is a picture of my house from one of my flights.

I did my first solo at 18 hours. It would have been at 15 but I made the 100 hour mistake early. I have about 35 hours logged now.

Actually the instruction time varies a bit with the type of flight training the student undertakes, whether part 61 or 141,
