gft Posted November 28, 2007 Posted November 28, 2007 If it feels like the thing to do- Go for it- How fast you train depends on your available time and funds.Even if you don't make a career of it you'll have a blast. I was 51 when I decided to get my rotorcraft PPL, took me about 45 hours over a three month period.I wouldn't trade it for anything. Good luck and enjoy. gft Quote
KMWK Posted November 29, 2007 Posted November 29, 2007 Have to agree with Wally on this one Vertigo. I'm 47 and just a couple minor health issues set me back, but I have a maintenance background too. Keeps me close to helis, I still fly my own or a friends' from time to time and some fixed wing. I would be considered mid time I guess at 3000 hours. My situation might be different than yours. I want to retire when I'm 50, and I can with my time in the Army and now working for DOD, not to mention the right investments. All depends on your life plan. Just my 2 cents. Good Luck, Gary Quote
Vertigo Posted November 30, 2007 Author Posted November 30, 2007 Did a demo flight today, my Doc says no problems after the stress test, labs, etc, scheduled for my FAA physical tomorrow morning. No turning back now! Quote
