I got my PP in 1979 while in college. $20.00 an hour. Last used it 1981. Law school. Kids. Tuition. More tuition. Then more tuition followed by weddings. Four girls. Decided to fly again and was shocked to discover that the 152 and 172 I flew 41 years ago are still the go to trainers. No way would I drive my college car from 1979, so I did some research and discovered that there are modem airplanes. Diamond. But it took even more to find a school. I’m in Atlanta, home of a zillion pilots. But no really local school with Diamond airplanes. So I drive about an hour to Winder. Kwdr. Dragonfly aviation.
