After alot of practice and time I've finally received my pilot's license for single engine planes, VFR (Visual Flight) only. Should get my IFR (Instrument Flight) rating fairly soon in another 40 hours of flight training, but I'm pretty happy I finally got my license.

Ah, my dad did the same thing a couple of years ago.

It can be a lot of fun, although it's quite an expensive hobby.

I'm old enough but I'm too lazy.

Congratz to you getting your piloting license, Base! That's pretty awesome!

I'm afraid of heights so you won't be seeing me in a plane (apart from the travelling-to-a-different-country ones =P) anytime soon.

Congrats Base, that is something I find very cool

. Do you have your own plane? When you mentioned single-engine planes, I assume you mean (most popularly) Cessnas?

I actually don't like Cessna, I prefer low wing planes and retractable gear. I'm planning on buying a Piper Malibu or Meridian after I get a hangar somewhere.

Awesome, I've heard that a lot of people like Pipers better than Cessnas. I think Pipers are cooler-looking too

Cessnas are really good for training aircraft, but once you have a bit of proficiency other planes can be better. They're just a bit easier to fly, so they're better to learn in.
