So, why am I learning to fly? That’s not as easy of a question to answer as it may seem. As far back as I can remember, I was convinced I was going to be a pilot for the Navy… then I went to my first eye doctor appointment and that dream went right out the window.

My interest in flying, however, never went away. I never actually persued it seriously until recently when I caught the “flying bug” again. This time, I was determined to at least find out more about general aviation and see if I actually enjoyed being in a small single-engine aircraft.
I started looking around for airports in the Indianapolis area that had flight schools (just about all of them do) and picked a day to go to the Mount Comfort airport while they were having an open house. There I met a couple of the flight instructors and though they were busy, they weren’t too busy to take an hour out to take me on a discovery flight. The rest, as they say, is history (still in the making).
